On May 21, 2020, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria sparked controversy when he warned his Kieni counterpart Kanini Kega against presenting a motion of impeachment against Deputy President William Ruto.
According to Kuria, Ruto was fired by President Uhuru Kenyatta long time ago, and therefore, there was no need for Kega to present a motion of impeachment.
'I know Hon Kanini Kega has a motion ready for the impeachment of DP William Ruto. Ruto was fired by Uhuru Kenyatta long time ago. Why are you firing him twice?' Kuria tweeted.
Kuria's statement came after DP allies held a press conference at Parliament buildings on Thursday, where they revealed that the ongoing changes in the Senate Leadership were meant to ensure that BBI proposals sail through in Parliament.
He also claimed that the government does not have money for a referendum and has resorted to parliament to pass the changes, with Jubilee MPs being threatened to vote accordingly on the constitutional changes.
Furthermore, Kuria alleged that ODM leader Raila Odinga and Uhuru have hired their own lawyers to draft the final BBI report, despite the presence of the BBI task force.
