Nyakundi, Mwago lock horns over Wetangula's impeachment stance

Kitutu Chache North MP Japheth Nyakundi has criticised his Starehe counterpart Amos Mwago after the legislator wrote to Parliament on September 30, demanding the immediate resignation of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula.

Mwago cited remarks made by Wetangula on Sunday, September 29, claiming that the Speaker had shown open bias and appeared to support a motion for the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Speaking at Wamunyu Catholic Church in Machakos, Wetangula stated, “If there is anyone who wants to disrupt the peace of the nation, they should be removed because we want peace for everybody.”

Following Wetangula's comments, Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse tabled a motion aimed at impeaching Gachagua on Tuesday, October 1.

 A total of 291 MPs appended their signatures to the motion, which Wetangula subsequently allowed.
