Kandara MP Alice Wahome to Sue President Uhuru for Militarizing the Gov’t

Kandara MP Alice Wahome has vowed to sue President Kenyatta for what she termed as militarizing the government.

Wahome criticized the recent move by the government to hand over Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa) to the military, saying it was inappropriate and should be reversed.

The MP stated that Kenya is a civilian government and the military should not be involved in managing any other docket other than the defense department.

"The role of the military is clearly outlined in the constitution, and they should not be engaged in any other business," Wahome said.

She claimed that the president appeared to have a hidden agenda to militarize the government, terming it as a dangerous move.

"It started by having General Badi to run the Nairobi Metropolitan, and he was also allowed to sit in the cabinet, the Kenya Meat Commission is under the military and now KEMSA, this is not right.”

"I am one person who believes that law must be followed, and I will be coming to court next week to oppose this move," she added.

"We have people who are qualified to handle KEMSA or KMC, and they are out there looking for jobs.”

She pointed out that the military only takes orders from above, and should anything go wrong, they cannot be held accountable.

"If the military messes up, we cannot summon them to parliament for questioning as we do with the civilians.”

Wahome further warned that giving the military power to run various agencies may trigger a desire for power, and this can be a recipe for chaos in the country.

"The army can easily overrule the country and if we are not careful, we can find ourselves here," she noted.

What is she doing for her people? Always suing and criticizing the President? Does anyone know of any developments in Kandara? associated with her? Is KMT now working with less corruption? May be that is what Kenya needs since we have a lot of greedy hyenas!

It is not about Kandara man, it is about Kenya. Uhuru has an agenda i don't know his IQS but MP Wahome is very right . The army unless they have asked for it and threatening Uhuru for takeover if he does not give in should not be involved . Jobs for civilians are also being compromised and if the army is under scrutiny they are like above the law - All of us especially us living in countries where democracy is intact we should join Wahome and protest what is our diaspora representative saying . They like our dollars they will listen

Military can be co-opted into doing civilian work and they do perform above Par as compared to civilians. In Canada, the military was responsible in every logistical way in the fight against Corona Virus, with majestic success. Among the developed world, Canada has one of the lowest Corona cases in the world. Thank God they have a prime minister who thinks country first like Uhuru Kenyatta. Wahome is just jealous of the accomplishments the president has achieved even with all the huddles her and he accolades have put on his way. Hope the people of great Kandara will send her home at 0800h on voting day.

What has this ugly woman ever done for the people of Kandara? It is the poorest constituency in Murang'a, known for giggers and backwardness. What development projects has she ever initiated, or opened? What contributions does she make in Parliament, for the benefit of the people of Kandara?

The weakest lame duck we have around running like a squirrel in military fatigues. A man with a 6 pack will not be walking around with a bare chest but lifting ppl out of poverty.
