Justin Muturi, speaker of the national assembly on Wednesday July 1 approved the debate of a motion seeking to impeach Prof Jacob Kaimenyi from
the position of minister for education.
The special motion is fronted by Geoffrey Odanga, member for Matayos and could lead to the first impeachment of a minister under president Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.
In general, the MPs accuse the minister of “gross misconduct” or what they have named “breach of public office conduct”.
THE ALLEGATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS
1. Delay in disbursement of free primary and day secondary school education money.
Basically, this argument may not hold water because it is not the duty of the minister to release the money rather
the national treasury. The ministry of education only prepares schedules that indicate the number of pupils and the capitation for each and forwards this to the treasury for wiring of funds to the school accounts.
2. The MPs say Prof Kaimenyi is arrogant and has failed to work with other stakeholders in the education fraternity.
3. Failed to honour summonses by parliament committee on education.
4. Has allowed schools to run without boards of managements.
5. Failed to handle procurement of the laptop projects.
6. Has not followed through on the guidance on the new fee structures that were developed by Dr Kilemi Mwiria task force.
Ninety nine MPs are said to have signed the petition to have the motion debated.
