Senators irked by CS Moses Kuria’s criticism, suggest stern action
Senators have vowed to take stern action against Public Service CS Moses Kuria following his comments on the ongoing impeachment motion against Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
On Tuesday, Kuria made several posts on his X account, claiming that the motion against Mwangaza did not hold enough evidence to warrant impeachment.
"I have studied carefully the issues presented against Governor Kawira. The most serious offence is that she does what Kikuyus call Kuangalia watu manyiira. That offence can take you to hell but not to jail. Certainly not a ground for Impeachment," he stated.
In a subsequent post, Kuria accused 13 Senators of being misled through evidence presented in the motion.
On Wednesday, Senators accused Kuria of running rogue by making several claims against the House and its members in the middle of an impeachment process.
"On behalf of the Senate, I want to register my disappointment in the increasingly and becoming conduct of Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria. A man who's continually embarrassing the appointing authority. That tweet was in bad taste, it paints senators as cheap people who have no cognitive ability," Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot stated.
"I now agree with members of this house who brought in here a motion before to discuss the conduct of this particular minister. Because at every given opportunity, he has done nothing other than embarrass the appointing authority. In fact, it is my submission that the earlier CS Moses Kuria is let off his duty the better for this administration." 
Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga supported the proposal to implore the President to sack Kuria from his position.
"We have the power to tell the President that indeed such a CS like Moses Kuria should be fired if not yesterday, today," Wamatinga stated.
According to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Kuria was an embarrassment to President William Ruto and a national shame.
"This is something that I have said in many stages, that in fact, CS Moses Kuria is an incorrigible national shame. One of the things that I ask myself, is just how much embarrassment the President have the capacity to endure?" Sifuna posed.
Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang asked the Senate to summon the CS to substantiate his claims. According to Kajwang, the conduct of Kuria is enough to warrant an impeachment, in case he was a governor.
"Mr Speaker I don't think that such conduct should be just reprimanded and left at that. I want to urge you that this particular Cabinet Secretary who uses social media to disparage the house, that he be summoned to appear before the house to substantiate those claims," Kajwang said.
"The many impeachments that we have processed in this house, if the conduct of CS Moses Kuria was to be considered, his conduct falls within the threshold of impeachment, if he was a governor. I want to urge the members of the other house to take serious judicial notice of the conduct of this particular Cabinet Secretary."
Kingi's verdict on Kuria
In his verdict, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi asked the Senators to invoke the House's standing orders to start the process of impeaching the CS, by making recommendations to the National Assembly.
"Honorable Senators, this cannot be a house of lamentations. This is a house of action. Pursuant to the point of order that has been raised by the majority leader, I implore upon you senators to take full advantage of the standing orders to bring sanity to some of these. You have the power under the law," Kingi said.
"So if you feel that the behaviour of the CS is unbecoming, then invoke the relevant standing orders. You may not be able to have the latitude make a final resolution to send the CS home, but your recommendation to the other house will have a lot of weight."
