MPs Approve Impeachment Motion Against CS Linturi: Members of Parliament have approved the proposed dismissal of Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi.
On Thursday, May 2, 149 MPs voted to proceed with the impeachment process for CS Linturi.
This means, More than one third of the required support of the members of the National Assembly which is 117 members, voted Yes.
During the debate, Rarienda MP Atiende Omollo stated, “I must confess that CS Linturi is my friend, and because he’s my friend, that’s why I’m supporting this motion. First of all, should the CS take responsibility for the motion and the issue at hand? The answer is YES.”
He added, “Why? Because we have it on his own authority. The document attached dated March 24th signed by him says ‘the ministry ensures that agricultural produce are of the right quality’, it is the ‘Ministry’ who is the head of Ministry? The Cabinet Secretary.”
