Uhuru’s Most Incompetent CS to be Finally Kicked Out

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s incompetent Cabinet secretary is finally set to be kicked out.

The Transport and Infrastructure CS James Macharia’s fate now lies in the hands of the National Assembly. This is after Nyali MP Mohamed Ali managed to collect  90 signatures from fellow Members of Parliament in support of motion to impeach CS Macharia.

The journalist-turned politician through his official social media handles on Tuesday June 16 said that he had finally tabled the motion after managing to meet the required threshold.

“Today I can confirm that I have tabled my petition to impeach CS James Macharia with 90 supporting signatures which is more than the threshold,” he posted.

Stalled projects worth Ksh100 billion and the Ksh5 billion scandal that hit Afya House during his tenure as Health CS are among the reasons cited in his impeachment motion.

The MP also said that the CS has also violated Article 73 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.

On Friday last week, the Nyali MP said he had decided to do so for the people of Mombasa, who are doomed to serious economic loss because of CS Macharia’s actions in forcing through patently illegal actions to prop up the profitability of the SGR.

He further noted that he was also doing it for the people of Kenya,who are saddled with projects that have not been completed under CS Macharia’s watch but have been,and have to be paid for.

The first term MP has accused CS Macharia of three allegations. First, the lawmaker wants the CS impeached for gross violation of article 10 (1)(c) and 2(a) of the Kenyan constitution.

By failing to undertake public participation with leaders, stakeholders, or even departments within the ministry of transport in implementation of a policy decision to have cargo from Mombasa transported via Standard Gauge Railway, the MP says CS Macharia was in gross violation of the constitution.

He also accuses the CS of gross misconduct contrary to the provisions of Article 125 of the Kenyan constitution. Mohamed Ali says CS Macharia has, in several meetings between him and parliamentary committees, appeared to commit perjury by lying under oath and giving evidence in parliament through provision of inaccurate information.
