National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has clarified that he has no intention of replacing Deputy President nominee Kithure Kindiki as the next Interior Cabinet Secretary.

Speaking on Monday, October 21, Ichung’wah emphasized that his focus remains on his duties in the National Assembly and that he is not seeking a Cabinet Secretary position.

“I have heard a leader suggesting here that I should become the Interior CS. But I want to tell that leader that I have a job and I don’t want people to get confused.

“I am not interested in the CS job. I have a job that I was given by Kikuyu constituents and these MPs also gave me a job as their leader in the National Assembly. And that is the job I pray to continue with,” Ichung’wah remarked.

The Kikuyu MP further commended Members of Parliament for working together during the impeachment process of ousted deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.

He claimed that he did not lead in the process because he wanted another job but because of the love of Kenya.

“You saw I led the impeachment motion in the National Assembly and I want to thank our MPs because we worked together. And it is not because we hated an individual but because we loved the people of Kenya than individual interests. I did not do that work so that I get another job,” Ichung’wah stated.

Ichung’wah's remarks follow the National Assembly's approval of Kithure Kindiki’s nomination as the next deputy president.

However, the appointment has been temporarily halted by a court order, pending the resolution of a petition filed by Gachagua. The court has issued conservatory orders, delaying Kindiki's appointment until the petition is heard and determined. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22.
