After weeks of speculation, a motion to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was filed in Parliament on Tuesday.
Some 291 members of Parliament signed the impeachment motion, well beyond the 117 threshold. Drawn from the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition and Azimio la Umoja, the lawmakers united and signed the motion.
However, some 54 legislators had a different view on the matter, opting not to sign the motion sponsored by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse.
Mutuse listed 11 grounds on which he wants Gachagua removed from office, including suspicious acquisition of wealth estimated at Sh5.2 billion within just two years.
The MP also accused the DP of stirring ethnic hatred and undermining the government and insubordination to the President.
Gachagua has dismissed all the allegations levelled against him.
The National Assembly adjourned Wednesday morning sitting from 12pm to 2pm to discuss procedure on the public opinions on the impeachment motion to seal loopholes that could thwart Gachagua’s removal through courts.
The House later announced the public participation exercise on the impeachment motion will be conducted at the constituency level across 290 constituencies countrywide on Friday.
The House later extended the collection of views to Saturday.
