Mumias East Member of Parliament Benjamin Washiali has expressed his fears over a position taken by a group of MPs to have Health CS Sicily Kariuki impeached
The Jubilee MP fears are that the motion being fronted by lawmakers, mainly from the Rift Valley could shake President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government to the core.
The legislators want the CS punished for sending Kenyatta National Hospital CEO Lily Koros on compulsory leave.
“Legislators behind the onslaught against Kariuki must release that it is not the best time to begin shaking the government, we understand their concerns but they ought to seek better ways of addressing the problem,” had Washiali told The Standard on an interview.
Two separate groups declared on Tuesday that they had kicked off the process of collecting signatures to start the CS's impeachment process.
Addressing a press conference on the sidelines of the on-going post-election conference for legislators in Mombasa County last week, 15 MPs led by Aldai MP, Cornelly Serem claimed to have the support of 100 lawmakers from both sides of the political divide.
At least 15 MPs from Rift Valley led by Aldai’s Cornelly Serem had earlier vowed to collect more than 349 to support the motion to impeach Ms Kariuki.
