Nyali MP Mohammed Ali has given notice to table a motion seeking to remove Transport CS James Macharia from office over his order to use the SGR to transport cargo from Mombasa to Naivasha ICD. The legislator, in the notice dated June 6, said that the CS violated Article 10(1) (c) of the Constitution by not undertaking public participation with leaders and stakeholders. "It is deeply concerning that the Cabinet Secretary continues to disregard stakeholders in the implementation of ministerial projects by not conducting any public participation or stakeholder engagement meetings," the MP said. Macharia said it will be mandatory for all cargo imported through the Port of Mombasa to be transported through SGR. Nyali MP also wants the CS to be removed for gross misconduct and misuse of his office.
