Two Jubilee Party Lawmakers appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to sack Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich.
Chuka Igamba Ng’ombe MP Patrick Munene and his Runyenjes counterpart Eric Muchangi accused CS Rotich of presiding over 'poor monetary policies'.
The MPs blamed CS Rotich for the current ‘economic crisis’ which saw the government introduce a new tax on petroleum products and demanded his immediate resignation.
The MPs promised to introduce Rotich's impeachment when the National Assembly holds a special session on Tuesday.
On Saturday Munene stated: “Before Parliament went on recess, there was a bill to impeach Mr Rotich. He has been inefficient. As a leader, he knows that he has failed and he should step down.”
He further accused the Treasury CS of being keen to implement policies set by International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
The legislator asked: “If you look at the monetary policies he is bringing, you will see that the Treasury is being led by people whose loyalty lies with IMF. Is it a coincidence most senior officers at the Treasury came from IMF?”
Munene also warned the National Assembly against holding predetermined debates where those with conflicting opinions are often ignored.
“Today, there are predetermined debates. You come to Parliament and there is a list of MPs who will contribute because they are known to support the outcome that is expected," the legislator stated.
"The House leadership should give all legislators a chance to speak their mind,” he added.
Muchangi asked the Treasury CS to take personal responsibility for the leadership in his ministry “because it has not been doing well”.
