Majority Leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah dismissed growing speculation about a potential appointment as Cabinet Secretary for Interior.
Speaking in Rabai, Kilifi County on Monday, October 21, the Kikuyu MP addressed rumors following recent suggestions that he could assume the role, firmly stating his focus remains on his current responsibilities.
“I have heard there are many things that have been said here, one of the politicians has suggested that I should become the Interior CS. But I want to say that I have a job, and I don’t want people to get confused,” Ichung’wah remarked, clarifying his stance on the matter.
He emphasized that his primary duty is to serve his constituents and fulfill his responsibilities as Majority Leader in the National Assembly.
The MP expressed satisfaction with his current role, citing the trust placed in him by both his Kikuyu constituents and fellow MPs who elected him to the powerful parliamentary position.
“I do not need the job of a minister,” Ichung’wah continued. “I have a job that I was given by Kikuyu constituents and these MPs also gave me a task in the National Assembly. I want to continue with this job so that we can bring development in Rabai and other parts of the country.”
His comments come amidst growing political speculation and reshuffling rumors, but Ichung’wah made it clear that his focus is on legislative duties and driving development efforts nationwide.
He assured the public that his leadership in Parliament would continue to prioritize progress across various regions, not just in his own constituency.
In the same address, Ichung’wah also touched on his role in the recent impeachment motion, which garnered widespread attention in the country.
“You saw I led the impeachment motion in the National Assembly,” he stated.
He went on to commend fellow MPs for their unity and purpose during the process, clarifying the motives behind the motion.
“I want to commend all the MPs. We did not do that because we hate an individual; we did it because we love the people of Kenya,” Ichung’wah explained, framing the decision as one made in the national interest.
Kimani Ichung’wah’s comments in Rabai reiterated his commitment to his current role as Majority Leader, distancing himself from Cabinet-level ambitions while emphasizing his dedication to serving the Kenyan people through legislative action.
