MPs to debate Kaimenyi impeachment motion

However it will be a tall order for the mover as a group of Jubilee MPs have lobbied their colleagues to shoot down the motion.

Under the Central Kenya Parliamentary Group, the MPs are seeking to rally support for the CS whom they say is being targeted for his straightforwardness and performance.

“Professor has pursued the Jubilee government agenda with a lot of focus, commitment and passion and this has threatened the status quo in the education , this could explain part of the resistance that we are seeing,” said Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi, the groups Patron.

Murungi claimed the move by Odanga was bent on weakening the jubilee Government telling Jubilee MPs not to allow the opposition to use them to propagate their agenda.

“We urge all Jubilee Members to vote against the motion sponsored against Kaimenyi,” he added.

If the motion is supported by at least 116 MPs, an eleven member select committee to investigate the matter and report back it’s finding within 10 days.

If the select committee finds allegations are unsubstantiated no further proceedings will continue but if the allegation are substantiated the CS will be allowed to defend himself before the House before a vote on whether to approve the resolution requiring the cabinet secretary to be dismissed is placed before the House.

The President will be required to dismiss the CS if resolution is supported by a simple majority of the Members of the National Assembly.
