Mbadi in Trouble After Itumbi Makes Damning Allegations; CS Magoha Piles Extra Costs on Parents in New Re-Opening Proposals & Woman Abducts Teen Girl for Husband to Defile

Good morning fellow Kenyans,

Could Senate speaker Ken Lusaka be next on the chopping board? Or are recent sentiments by a section of senators mere hot air meant to scare the ‘wheelbarrow’ man?

Lusaka had a rough day yesterday after a section of Senators threatened to move a motion to discuss his conduct in the on-going impasse over the Third Basis for Revenue Allocation among County Governments.

The impeachment calls were led by none other than vocal senators from seemingly defunct NASA coalition most notably Makueni senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr (Wiper) and his Narok counterpart Ledama Ole Kina (ODM).

This is after the speaker infamously adjourned the debate on the disputed revenue formula for the fourth time after lawmakers failed to agree on a formula despite weeks of negotiations.

To make it worse for the soft-spoken speaker, he was escorted out of the chambers with chants of “Shame!” “Shame!” after he walked out on the Senators during the chaotic session. How often do you hear or see lawmakers disrespecting their speaker to such magnitude?

Many pundits assert that Lusaka and his National Assembly colleague Justin Muturi are serving under the mercy of President Uhuru Kenyatta and he’s only meant to rubberstamp the executive’s proposal. And once again, the former Bungoma governor showed a total lack of leadership on Thursday after basically postponing a problem.

Could his misdeeds and perceived lack of charisma to reign supreme over the parliament successfully vis-à-vis his predecessors Ekwe Ethuro and Kenneth Marende cost him his coveted position and kill him politically?
