Only Way to Remove Speaker Justin Muturi - Ahmednasir

Nairobi Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi on Thursday expressed his discontent with the chaotic parliament proceedings exhibited by members in the House.

Taking to social media, the advocate faulted Speaker Justin Muturi for the scenes witnessed noting that his actions to see the bill sail through despite obvious opposition was a dangerous precedent and signal of things to come.

"Considering the many malfeasances committed by parliament under the watchful authority of speaker Justin Muturi, I take no pride in variously predicting the perilous trajectory he always puts our beloved country," he tweeted.

He added that the only way to stop the Speaker from acting against the will of the people was ejection via the courts.

"To the courts...this is the only way to stop Justin Muturi...to the Courts...to the Courts...Kenyans to the Courts!" he appealed.

Taking a closer look at the situation, Ahmednasir called out the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders who supported the motion.

"I don't want to sound partisan, but I sort of understand and can even rationalise the position Jubilee MPs took in relation to the VAT tax but I can't understand what is in it for ODM. It has it been reduced to be a blind follower of Jubilee?I don't get it. really!" he added.

According to the constitution, the Speaker can be removed if the relevant House makes a resolution supported by the votes of at least two-thirds of its members initiating the process.

Following the passing of President Uhuru Kenyatta's tax proposals, a section Members of Parliament threatened to impeach the Speaker for what they termed as the imposition of the bill on them.

Addressing the press, the MPs cited dictatorship and strong-arming in the manner the proposals were passed.

On his part Majority Leader Aden Duale dared his colleagues to impeach Muturi exuding confidence that such a move would be unsuccessful.
