Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu on Friday evening, May 21, exposed a plan to remove one of President Uhuru Kenyatta's CS from office in a Facebook post.
In a veiled attack on Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, the Uhuru allied MP indicated that there was a CS who had gone rogue and needed to be dealt with.
"There is this one Cabinet Secretary who somehow thinks he’s untouchable. We get insulted here everyday as we protect the government he works for, then he thinks he can run over us the way he runs over everyone else," Wambugu stated.
Wambugu, a close ally of the president, noted that the CS had ruffled feathers across the political divide.
"Even if we have to pool resources with UDA and ODM and make dealing with him a joint project; since he’s already also tried to run over them too.
"Sometimes you must deal with the crack, before it brings down the building. We can’t keep allowing some bureaucrats to keep making our politics harder than it already is, or should be...Bonchari was a mistake," he added.
CS Matiang'i was accused by both the UDA and ODM factions of using state resources to campaign for the Jubilee candidate.
ODM's Edwin Sifuna accused Matiang'i of using the police to clobber Kisii residents. He indicated that he had been forced to engage in running battles with the police to avoid arrest.
"Uhuru must sack Matiangi or send him to the ministry of wildlife," Sifuna stated.
On his part, ODM leader Raila Odinga expressed fears that some members of the Jubilee party were using the handshake as an excuse to erode hard-earned liberties.
"Security forces exist to serve the people and not the interests of those out to conduct political experiments," he stated.
Sudi, a UDA member and close ally of Deputy President William Ruto faulted the CS for sending heavy security detail in order to rig the elections to favour a particular candidate.
"I want to tell you this, we're going to impeach Matiangi, in the next two weeks, Matiangi must go home," Sudi vowed.
ODM's candidate, Pavel Oimeke, won the seat in Matiang'i's home ground with 8,049 votes, against Jubilee's Zebedeo Opore who was second with 7,279 votes.
