At the National Assembly where the impeachment motion must be initiated, the DP could mount a successful onslaught to survive the process. A review of the numbers shows that a united front of parties pushing for his removal can easily manage 115 signatures required by law to table the impeachment motion in the House. However, the trouble would be to get the impeachment motion to be supported by a two-thirds majority which translates to 233 MPs. "On both fronts [Senate and National Assembly], the impeachment motion would be a waste of time and therefore dead on arrival,” Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria said. He voted alongside senators who opposed Waititu's impeachment motion in January.
