Suna East legislator Junet Mohamed excited Members of Parliament with his sensational calls for the government account for Covid-19 expenditure or cede power.
Speaking in the National Assembly on Wednesday, May 6, Mohamed pointed fingers at the government over several failures to properly provide for the people as it had promised at the start of the pandemic.
"This government has not done anything that is tangible other than announcing numbers every three o'clock. This government could not even afford to give masks worth Ksh20 to the citizens.
"Members of Parliament are buying masks for their constituents. We were told of free sanitizers. Coronavirus is almost under control but nothing yet. I think they have washed their hands now they are washing their legs," he stated.
The National Assembly Minority Whip warned that it would not be business as usual rallying MPs to question government interventions as their oversight responsibility.
He stated that with the government's failures he was alluding to, there was nothing much the Jubilee administration could do for citizens other than ceding power.
"The government must account for this money shilling by shilling, penny by penny. This country is known for people who enrich themselves through miseries. They are known and are in offices.
"These Covid-19 funds should be accounted for in this House. People are shamelessly discussing tea and mandazi worth Ksh4 million while people are dying out of hunger and Corona," he stated.
Mohamed then started a 'shame' chant that was picked by other legislators who shouted after him and clapped in a frenzy as made his point.
"This is very shameful, and yet they call themselves a government. If it was in democracies that have matured, this government would have resigned.
"We would have had a general election because if you cannot defend your people from floods or even buy them masks, then you don't deserve to be called a government," Mohammed submitted.
He stated that the MPs needed rise to the occasion and hold the government accountable and ensure that every wrong decision is taken to book and condemned.
