Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot on Tuesday slammed Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Moses Kuria after he attacked 13 Kenya Kwanza senators over Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza impeachment.
Cheruiyot who was responding to a cryptic tweet by the CS who had called out a number of senators including the Kericho legislator.
"Are you really sure you want a fight with parliament and parliamentarians right now ?” Cheruiyot commented.
Kuria called out the 13 senators over the pending impeachment motion tabled before the senate against the Meru governor.
Among the senators called out by CS Kuria include Aaron Cheruiyot (Kericho), Jackson Mandago (Uasin Gishu), Sigei (Bomet) Sen. Mundigi (Embu), Samson Cherargei (Nandi), Seki (Kajiado)and Fatuma Dullo (Isiolo).
The others include Abdul Haji (Garissa), Kamau Murango (Kirinyaga), Wahome Wamatinga (Nyeri), Kathuri Murungi (Meru), Wambua (Kitui) and Kajwan’g of Homabay county.
"Stop it. You can see from evidence you are being misled,” Kuria noted.
Kuria had said issues presented against Governor Mwangaza did not warrant her impeachment.
“I have studied carefully the issues presented against Governor Kawira. The most serious offense is that she does what Kukuyus call Kuangalia watu manyiira. That offense can take you to hell but not to jail. Certainly not a ground for Impeachment," Kuria said.
The clash between Kuria and Cheruiyot comes hours after Senate Speaker Amason Kingi warned CS Kuria over his scathing comments on the proceedings in the senate on the impeachment of Mwangaza.
“I, therefore, caution Moses Kuria, Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service, performance and delivery management, and all other persons to desist from adversely making utterances whether written or spoken in relation to the conduct of the impeachment process which may prejudice the just and fair disposal of the present matter,” Kingi noted.
“If this caution is not heeded, we will summon the CS Moses Kuria.”
