What you need to know:
- Prof Kindiki said Mr Okong’o had a right to seek the President’s removal from office but his reasons were flimsy.
- Starehe MP Maina Kamanda and his Dagoretti South counterpart Dennis Waweru also dismissed Mr Okong’o.
- Mr Okong’o says the President must take responsibility for lives lost as a result of the ongoing doctors’ strike, now in its 36th day.
Jubilee lawmakers on Monday dismissed plans by Nyamira Senator Mong’are Okong’o to impeach the President.
Barely a day after the senator said 10 MPs were willing to table the motion in Parliament, the legislators on Monday told Mr Okong’o to stop “demeaning the presidency”.
