MPs allied to the United Republican Party Tuesday piled pressure on President Uhuru Kenyatta to sack Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.
This follows the loss of Sh791 million in the National Youth Service, a department under the Devolution docket.
Addressing a news conference at the Main Parliament Buildings, the lawmakers also called on President Kenyatta to reinstate two Cabinet Secretaries, Felix Koskei and Davis Chirchir, who are on suspension over corruption allegations. The MPs said the Cabinet secretaries were cleared and they "ought to be back to handle their very busy dockets".
"The feeling that we have in URP is that these are our brothers and they were asked to step aside to allow for investigations. They were cleared. Why have they not been reinstated? If there's any politics involved, we will deal with it, but we see it as witch-hunt," said Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills).
"In URP, we are firm. People should know that when it comes to making decisions, we act," said Keter.
There have been reports of an unreported split between the President and the Deputy President over the return of Koskei and Chirchir to the Cabinet, but State House has vehemently denied the reports and dismissed them as rumours.
