Wednesday, October 2, 2024 - Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has blasted Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo, accusing him of chasing the wind in his move to file a censure motion against President William Ruto.
According to Duale, the motion will go nowhere
since it is not anchored on a strong legal footing.
In Duale's view, the censure motion has no
constitutional or procedural basis in parliamentary parlance, and anyone
seeking to question the President's conduct must follow the laid down
constitutional provisions.
"You are therefore certainly out of
order! Anyone wishing to remove a State Officer from office must follow the
laid down, clearly prescribed, and express constitutional provisions", the
CS wrote.
Maanzo filed a motion to censure Ruto claiming
the Head of State has consistently violated the constitution.
According to the senator, Ruto failed in his responsibility to protect Kenyans from police brutality at the height of the Gen Z protests.
The lawmaker also submitted that the president has crippled
devolution by failing to ensure timely disbursement of equitable share to the
devolved units.
The senator also claimed that the president
has attempted to bulldoze a series of unpopular policies such as the Social
Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), the Affordable Housing programme, and the Adani
takeover of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
