The process of removing Senate Deputy Speaker Kindiki Kithure started in earnest on Tuesday after the newly-elected Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata tabled the motion to eject him from the coveted post over alleged disloyalty to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The Murang’a Senator, who has become the driver of Uhuru’s warhorse in the Senate, tabled the motion under Article 106 (2) of the Constitution, which provides for election and removal of House Speaker and deputy.

“I beg to move that this House resolves that Senator Kithure Kindiki be removed from the Office of the Deputy Speaker,” reads the notice by Kang’ata.

According to Section C of the Article, the office of Speaker or Deputy Speaker shall become vacant if the relevant House so resolves by resolution supported by the votes of at least two-thirds of its members.

In his motion which requires at least 45 out of 67 senators, Kang’ata is hoping to benefit from the recently-signed post-election deal between Jubilee Party—which has 34 senators—and Kanu (three) as well as Opposition which have an axe to grind with Deputy President William Ruto.

As of Tuesday evening, sources revealed that 48 senators, drawn from across the political divide, support motion to removal Kindiki from the Speaker post.
