Looming impeachment motion against CS Moses Kuria
Senators call for impeachment motion against Public Service CS Moses Kuria over his questionable behaviour
Senators call for impeachment motion against Public Service CS Moses Kuria over his questionable behaviour.
Senate has unanimously directed the National Assembly Majority leader, Kimani Ichung’wah, to table a motion of impeachment against Public Service CS Moses Kuria.
Angry senators on Wednesday morning were forced to halt the Impeachment trial of Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza, who is facing impeachment, to discuss the CS’s conduct.
This comes after Senators expressed their displeasure over Kuria’s alleged attempt to sabotage Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s impeachment proceedings.
Earlier, CS Kuria had named 13 senators, both opposition and government, saying they were being duped to seal the fate of Mwangaza.
”In fact, Mr Speaker, I agree with members of this house who have brought a motion of censure before to discuss the conduct of this particular minister because every given opportunity has done nothing but embarrass the appointing authority,” Majority leader Aaron Cheruiyot lamented.
Senator Cheruiyot stated that CS Kuria, through his conduct, had cast serious doubt on the appointing authority that is the President.
”In fact, it is my submission, Mr. Speaker, that the earlier CS Moses Kuria is let off his duties, the better for this administration because in every single day, in every action that he undertakes, he continues to embarrass the President and the People,” Cheruiyot, Kericho Senator, added.
In response, other senators warned that Kuria’s behaviour was questionable and, as such, should be sent home for allegedly tainting the president’s reputation.
“Moses Kuria is an incorrigible national shame. How much embarrassment does the president have to endure? If nothing is done about Moses Kuria, there is more embarrassment coming,” Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna lamented.
Homa Bay Senator, Otieno Kajwang, furthermore, urged senators allied with the president to advise him about Kuria’s conduct.
”Go and tell the boss that this guy is an embarrassment, not just to the government but to the republic of Kenya, he is an embarrassment to entire East Africa, the deals he has done have made Kenya look like a pariah,” stated senator Kajwang’

However, Nandi Senator, Samson Cherargei, urged the President to extend the crackdown on Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen. The duo have been at loggerheads, with the Senator accusing the CS of sidelining his county in matters of development.
”He is in good company of CS Murkomen, who insults and belittles anyone & everyone but Kuria only tweets. But Murkomen is worse. He takes the mic and bullies, insults and demeans the people and elected leaders even in funerals,” Senator Cherargei added.
Murkomen had earlier accused the Senator of tribalism after he allegedly asked the ministry to offer contracts to local community contractors.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna on his part also demanded action saying he has time immemorial warned of CS Kuria’s conduct.
This comes hours after Senate Speaker Amason Kingi warned CS Kuria over his comments on the proceedings in the senate on the impeachment of Mwangaza.
“I, therefore, caution Moses Kuria, Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service, performance and delivery management, and all other persons to desist from adversely making utterances whether written or spoken in relation to the conduct of the impeachment process which may prejudice the just and fair disposal of the present matter,” Kingi noted.
“If this caution is not heeded, we will summon the CS Moses Kuria.”
