Speaker Amason Kingi declared, "Majority leader, you do not have a seconder for this motion." "The motion for the establishment of a committee having suffered that setback, the matter shall be heard in plenary," the Speaker said. In due course, I will provide more instructions. A committee composed of eleven members was initially suggested by Senator Cheruiyot to investigate the grounds for the deputy governor of Kisii's impeachment.
Senate committee as a whole will hear the impeachment case against Robert Monda, Kisii deputy governor.
The move to form a committee to look into the impeachment allegations, made by Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot, failed.
Having chosen Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna to second the move to create the squad, Cheruiyot was unable to get a seconder for the motion.
Sifuna, who was asked to second the motion, stated, "I had indicated to the Leader of Majority to withdraw my support of this motion."
As a result, Speaker Amason Kingi ruled that the motion had failed.
