The petition by Nyali MP Mohamed Ali accuses Mr Macharia of violation of the Constitution and gross misconduct noting that he is not fit to continue serving in the Cabinet. AdvertisementHowever, an unperturbed Mr Macharia said: “This is a democratic country and it is allowed to have people express this right. The petition is backed by a Senate Hansard report quoting Mr Macharia saying that his directive that cargo from Mombasa strictly use SGR was no longer in implementation. What I am praying is that the National Assembly finds this man unsuitable to hold the office in the Cabinet,” he said. The National Assembly has 349 members meaning that those required to sign the petition must be at least 88 MPs.
