Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

Sakaja misses Gachagua’s impeachment trial at the senate where he was expected to be a key witness. He was in Mexico City for the Bloomberg Citylab summit. Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja’s absence at D P Rigathi Gachagua’s first impeachment trial on Wednesday has raised a lot of questions. Sakaja, who was expected to be a key witness in the Senate trial, was listed by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi among the National Assembly’s witnesses. However, he was nowhere near Parliament when the session started. The governor was in Mexico City for the Bloomberg CityLab 2024 summit, where he featured as one of the keynote speakers. An event schedule confirmed that the Sakaja joined discussions on urban governance, highlighting the role of youth in shaping city policies. “Later today, Bloomberg CityLab reporter Fola Akinnibi will join Governor H.E. Sakaja Arthur Johnson of Nairobi, Kenya, to talk about what cities can learn from putting young people at the heart of decision-making.’’ The Nairobi Governor was expected to shed light on accusations levelled against the Deputy President, which form the basis of an impeachment motion tabled by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse. He had submitted an affidavit which accused Gachagua of unlawfully interfering with Nairobi County’s operations, including the relocation of traders from Wakulima Market to Kangundo Road Market.  According to the affidavit, the Deputy President allegedly violated the principle of separation of powers by holding rallies that incited the public against lawful county decisions. Moreover, Sakaja accused Gachagua of using ethnic sentiments to disrupt efforts to reorganise traffic within Nairobi, particularly in relocating matatu terminals. He argued that such actions undermined the county government’s mandate and questioned the integrity of devolution in Kenya. His absence from the Senate hearing caught many by surprise, including Gachagua’s lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, who took to X social media platform to express his anticipation of cross-examining Sakaja.

CS John Mbadi: “Kenyans must understand that if a system is not working we get a system that is working’’

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE /

CS Mbadi confirms that the government has no plan of changing the new health model SHA. According to him, the exercise needs patience. The Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has recently maintained that the government would not change the Social Health Authority despite appeals by many Kenyans over challenges in accessing healthcare. Speaking during an interview on Spice FM, Mbadi clarified that the challenges witnessed during the transition from NHIF to SHA were minimal to warrant an overhaul of the new health insurance system. He further disclosed that the solution to the current crisis within the health sector was not affecting the whole system but rather correcting the glitches faced during the implementation of the health scheme. “Kenyans have been questioning why we have SHA and not NHIF, the latter was not working, Kenyans must understand that if a system is not working, we get a system that is working, it may have challenges from the beginning but that does not mean we get back to a system that does not work.’’ He also noted that exercising patience on the matter would be better, stating that the government was working to restore normalcy by correcting the hitches. CS Mbadi went ahead to compare Kenyans to Lot’s wife, a figure in the bible who turned into a pillar of salt after looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as her family was fleeing. “The problem with us is that if we attempt to get something to work then we have challenges, instead of correcting challenges and moving forward, we tend to go back,” CS Mbadi commented.Kenyans tend to think like Lot’s wife who was told not to look back but she looked back and remained at the same place. So we need to be looking forward. If SHA has challenges, we need to deal with these challenges.” CS Mbadi’s move comes barely hours after Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa announced that a task force had been established to ensure all Kenyans, including cancer patients and those on dialysis,  access essential healthcare services.

Morara will find himself not very useful when he comes to look for projects in Langata because all our projects are completely done.”  He  further advised Kebaso that he should remember that politics is not everyone’s cup of tea, noting that people can love you online but they can’t love you everywhere. ”But I’m happy that he’s coming out to show whatever he’s doing. But for Morara he should learn that he’s not on social media anymore, he’s in politics. And politics is not everyone’s cup of tea. People can love you online but they can’t love you everywhere.’’ Morara had recently taken the internet by storm with his impressive impersonations of President William Ruto, something that made him to be arrested and detained and was later accused of cyber harassment.  He has however been able to gain support from many Kenya all over the country for the work he does in exposing Ruto’s government.

Blow To DP Gachagua Again As High Court Refuses To Halt The Hearing Of His Impeachment At The Senate

Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

The court refuses to stop the tabling of Gachagua’s impeachment at the senate.  The hearing of the impeachment is set to start from 16th October to 17th October. The High Court has rejected Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s attempt to halt the Senate’s upcoming impeachment proceedings. Justice Chacha Mwita delivered the ruling dismissing Rigathi Gachagua’s petition that sought to restrain the Senate from acting on the National Assembly’s resolution passed on October 8.  This ruling allows the impeachment process in the Senate to continue. “Having considered the application and argument by parties, the constitution, and the precedent, the prayer for the grant of conservatory order is hereby declined.’’ According to the Justice, the Constitution has delegated the impeachment process to Parliament, and the court must show restraint in meddling with the process. Justice Mwita, however, ruled that the challenges raised in the petition can be considered after the Senate concludes its role. He further ruled that the court had the jurisdiction to hear the petition brought by Gachagua, despite some of the responders to the petition arguing that the court had no jurisdiction since the matter in question stemmed from a constitutional process.  The DP becomes the first DP to go through an impeachment process  and has been  impeached by the MPs since the implementation of the new constitution.

Senate Forced To Adjourn a Setting After Senators Failed To Show Up

Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

A big blow as  many senators fail to attend  a morning setting at the  senate.  This raises questions since they are expected to start tabling Gachagu’s impeachment motion on  16th October. The Senate has recently been forced to adjourn a sitting due to a lack of quorum. Lawmakers were set to discuss a raft of issues but most senators were a no-show with hardly any legislator present at the chambers. “The Senate of Kenya morning session has been adjourned due to lack of quorum pursuant to the Senate Standing Order 40 subsection 2.”  According to the standing orders of the Senate, for the House to transact or do any business of the day there has to be a minimum of 15 senators present in the Chamber. This comes even as the Senate is set to hear the impeachment case against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on October 16 and October 17. The Senate is now the key determiner on whether Gachagua will remain in office after the National Assembly voted to kick him out last week.  The deputy president can, however, be saved by the courts. DP Gachagua is facing 11 accusations including; gross violation of the Constitution, insubordination, unlawful acquisition of wealth and threatening national unity through making divisive statements in public. Gachagua has however filed a case in court seeking orders to have the Senate blocked from debating his impeachment. The High Court is expected to rule on Tuesday at 2:30 PM on whether to suspend the impeachment trial .
