Senate Minority Leader James Orengo yesterday tabled a censure motion against Cabinet secretaries Charles Keter (Energy) and John Munyes (Petroleum) for snubbing summons over high fuel prices.

Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka had last week invited the CSs to appear before a committee of the whole House to explain the “unprecedented escalation of fuel prices.” While citing the relevant laws that obligated CSs to appear before Parliament, Orengo pointed at the gravity of a censure motion.
