Wednesday, October 23, 2024 - Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa has revealed plans to table a new bill in the Senate that seeks to streamline the impeachment process for county government officials to ensure it is fair from the get-go.
Speaking during an interview,
Thang’wa, who is an ally of impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, said
that his bill, which is due for its second hearing any time now, covers county
assembly impeachment hearings which are often kickstarted by the assembly
speaker notifying the senate speaker of an impeachment motion and resolution.
“I have a law on impeachment
which is supposed to go to the second reading anytime from now. It has already
been committed to the Senate.”
“That is the impeachment of
governors, speakers of county assemblies, CECs, and even the deputy governor,”
Thang’wa stated.
“The law says, before you start
the issue of investigation, we have to do preliminary objections that has to
take three days.”
“Because I had seen like the
case of Waititu where the speaker said there were numbers and there were no
numbers,” he added.
