Njeri Maina, a UDA MP and lawyer, stated that an impeachment
motion against President William Ruto lacks the needed support in Kenya's
National Assembly, where government allies hold over 170 seats and coalition
partners near 337 total.
She explained that tabling requires 117 signatures and
passage needs 233 votes, thresholds the opposition at around 158 seats combined
cannot meet, even as she said she would support it if tabled.
Her realistic take drew criticism for seeming disloyal despite her
past votes against the Finance Bill and defense of Rigathi Gachagua, while
supporters praised her focus on facts over emotion.
The debate highlights Kenya's divided politics, with public calls
for accountability clashing against parliamentary realities ahead of 2027.
