• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to make a personal statement. You will recall that sometime last year in the month of May, I proposed a Motion to this House to impeach the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Planning and Devolution. After complying with all the requirements of the law and the Standing Orders, my Motion was approved for debate in this House.

Speaker, as a leader serving a ... view

Speaker, allow me today to take the extraordinary step of telling this House, and the nation, the unfortunate events that led to the withdrawal of the highly publicized Motion to impeach the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Planning and Devolution, Ms. Ann Waiguru.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I even remember that when I tried to get an opportunity to explain to hon. Members what happened in Naivasha in presence of all the leadership, Members of Parliament booed me and I was not able to talk.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Motion was mooted, and this I repeat, the Motion to impeach the Cabinet Secretary was mooted by senior leaders and Members of this Parliament in the Majority Whip‘s Office. On this particular day, I remember we were called to give support to the President through a Press conference for the payment of the Anglo Leasing money by the Leader of the Majority Party in this National Assembly and in the Senate.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to thank the media for the good work they did in creating awareness about this Motion, as after a few days we had the required numbers. I want to state that the Cabinet Secretary, Ms. Ann Waiguru, talked to me twice on phone and I clearly told her that I was not ready, nor was I able, to control the events of the unfolding events. Realizing the matter was more serious than she thought, she used hon. (Ms.) Mbarire and hon. Mbiuki, who are my very close friends and I found myself in a meeting with her on ... view
