Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Gatundu South Member of Parliament, Moses Kuria, has expressed his sentiments regarding the push to impeach Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i.<\/p>\n

Taking to his social platforms on Monday, October 11, Kuria termed the move as an unnecessary distraction for the country at a time when the 2022 General Election is drawing closer.<\/p>\n

The legislator further hit out at those who sought to push the agenda, claiming that it would have made sense to impeach Matiang’i one year ago as opposed to currently.<\/p>\n

“It is not time for unnecessary distractions like the energy sapping and bound-to-fail motion of impeachment against CS Fred Matiang’i which would have made more sense a year ago than today. Let’s focus. There is hardly any time left.”<\/p>\n

Kuria noted that the country should focus more on registering new voters, ensuring IEBC readiness, safeguarding the 2022-2023 budget cycle as well as peace and security of all Kenyans.<\/p>\n

“Nine months and 28 days before polling stations open in the 2022 General Election, it is time to focus on the most important things including registering 7 million new voters, ensuring IEBC readiness to carry out a free, fair, credible, transparent and verifiable poll, ensuring maximum peace and security of all Kenyans and their property during the transitional General Election.”<\/p>\n

“Further, (we need to ensure the) safeguarding of our 2022-2023 budget cycle from the vagaries of a tense political transition,” he stated.<\/p>\n

The proposal to impeach the Interior CS, which was drafted by Nyali MP Mohammed Ali, has caused a rift among Deputy President William Ruto\u2019s allies.<\/p>\n

A section of the allies poked holes into the motion, pointing out that it is baseless while others deemed it fit to carry out the due process.<\/p>\n

“I have gone through the impeachment grounds fronted by Hon. Mohammed this morning and I must say I am disappointed. Why would one want to impeach the CS over his dispute with his governor over some wall?” South Mugirango MP, Sylvanus Osoro, previously stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
