A CORD legislator has warned his colleagues against calls to impeach President Uhuru Kenyatta saying such a move would be premature and not in the interest of Kenyans. Ford Kenya’s Nyamira senator, Monga’re Bwo’Okongo, instead urged the opposition to engage the Jubilee coalition in constructive and objective debate to provide alternatives to the raging insecurity in the country. He said the debate would further ethnic balkanisation of the country, a year after the general election. The Ford Kenya senator faulted his fellow legislators as being too insensitive to the plight of Kenyans and the aftermath of the 2007 post-election violence. “It is ridiculous to start debate to impeach the president. That would be premature and tantamount to reversing the gains this country has made. It is time we focused on the future and how as the opposition we can plot to democratically win an election,” Okong’o said. He urged the opposition to concentrate in providing alternative policies and legislations that can help improve the lives of millions of Kenyans living in abject poverty.
