An Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) senator has spoken tough ahead of today’s senate’s seating to determine Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru’s impeachment.

Taking to his official twitter account this morning, Narok senator Ledama Olekina said that the senators must and shall be guided by the constitution in determining the motion.

If not, Olekina says that the constitution should be then thrown away.

“We must and shall be guided by the constitution … if not then we might as well throw it away! Good day ahead!” he posted.

The senate is set to determine whether Waiguru’s impeachment case should be heard by a committee or the entire senate.

There have been speculations that the Raila Odinga led Orange party is set to save Waiguru from ouster.

However, Raila has hence denied holding a meeting with Waiguru over her impeachment.

Daily Nation Newspaper had on Sunday June 14 reported that Waiguru and Raila met on Thursday evening in efforts to help save her job, which is hanging by a thread after she was impeached by the county assembly last week and failed in her bid to block the move in court.

The local daily reported that Raila met Waiguru at an exclusive club in Karen, Nairobi, alongside a few aides, with the key agenda being whipping ODM and other “friendly” senators to defeat the motion against her.

It was further reported that Waiguru walked in a few minutes to 7pm accompanied by two aides. Then Kiambu Governor James Nyoro and his Nyeri counterpart Mutahi Kahiga joined her before Mr Odinga and a few of his trusted MPs arrived.

Raila has distanced himself from the said meeting. The former Prime Minister says that there does not exist any senate committee to investigate Waiguru’s impeachment and whose members from ODM he has instructed to save Waiguru as reported by the local daily.

Raila said that at the said hours of the meeting, he had a meeting with Laikipia women Representative Catherine Waruguru who was in the company of some Members of Parliament.

But contradicting Raila, Suna East MP Junet Mohamed on Sunday claimed that ODM was ready to save Waiguru since it supports women leadership.

Junet also said that there was no any problem if Raila meets Waiguru, arguing that they can meet as many times as they want since Raila is a national leader while Waiguru is an elected governor.

The Orange party’s director of elections further claimed that Waiguru had not committed any crime, and those pushing for her ouster are just against her leadership.

    since independence politics have not benefited common citizens any thing apart from those in power. currently Kenya has a public debt of Ksh 5.8 trillion. If these figure is share among 52 million kenyans irrespective of age, each has s public debt of Ksh 110,000 yet more than 90% don't have jobs. currently kenya has 3.6 tax payers and if Ksh 5.8 trillion is shared among them, each has a public debt of Ksh 1.7 million. when will kenyans be debt free?
