At least 166 MPs have reportedly signed a petition to impeach Health CS Sicily Kariuki over suspension of Kenyatta National Hospital boss Lily Koros. The Constitution requires at least a third (116) of the 349 members to sign an impeachment motion to meet the threshold.

MPs who are behind the push to oust the CS over claims of abuse of office have also demanded that National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi disqualifies himself from the matter.

Aldai MP Cornelly Serem claimed Muturi had vested interests in the matter since he hails from the same region as the CS.
