Drama was witnessed in Parliament on Thursday, February 11, 2021 after Nyali MP Mohamed Ali alias Moha Jicho Pevu entered parliament chambers with a gun, causing panic.

Gem MP Odhiambo Elisha Ochieng was forced to rise up and raise the concern after realising that the journalist-turned politician was carrying a gun at his back.

“I have noticed a behaviour which is not of good conduct for a Member of Parliament. I am sure sure we operate under particular codes of behaviour within Parliament..am not aware that a Member of Parliament is allowed to walk inside here with a gun. I have noticed the honorable Ali is carrying something on his back, and that is a gun, then we are not safe,” said the Gem MP.

The issue got the attention of Speaker Justin Muturi, forcing Moha Jicho Pevu to stand up and apologise.

While giving his apologies to the MPs, Moha Jicho Pevu explained that he was prone to forgetting just like any normal human being.

He noted that he only forgot to leave outside the things he was carrying, and accepted to surrender the gun to the sergeant at arms.

He however condemned Hon Odhiambo for raising the matter before the house, arguing that the MP could have just approached him instead.

Moha Jicho Pevu however, maintained that the law allows Members of Parliament to apply for a licensed gun.

He further condemned the lawmakers for personalising the issue and making it a Tanga tanga affair.

Members of Parliament affiliated to Tanga Tanga faction of Jubilee party have abandoned their colleague at an hour of need.

Just a day after Nyali MP Mohamed Ali securing 90 signatures in a plot to impeach Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia, the MPs who had signed his petition have now come out to withdraw their signatures, leaving the MP on his own.

Speaking to journalists on Thursday June 18, the journalist-turned-politician said that the MPs seeking to withdraw their signatures had been intimidated.

He said that all the lawmakers from the Coast region had also abandoned him, and left him to fight on his own. The MP cited that his life is now in danger.

Moha Jicho Pevu also appealed to Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to furnish his home with additional security.

“Some of the Members of Parliament that you are seeing here have already been summoned by the DCI and KRA. 

“I want to say this, I want the Inspector General of Police to increase my security at home and in Parliament. I am dealing with a big fish. This fish must be named by all means,” stated the lawmaker.

He however, noted that once a member of Parliament appends a signature as per the standing order, he or she, cannot withdraw. 

“How do you sign without reading? I also want to assure you and tell you that the standing order is very clear that once a member of Parliament appends a signature, he or she, cannot withdraw. So no one can withdraw and the motion will proceed,” he said.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro said that Mohammed Ali’s purported bid to oust CS James Macharia is a hopeless endeavour wrapped in hullabaloo and petty imagination.

“Mohammed Ali’s purported bid to oust CS James Macharia is a hopeless endeavour wrapped in hullabaloo and petty imagination. Zero content, can’t pass the threshold. Tuache CS afanye kazi bila fitina. We are African and Africa is our Business,” he said.

The Nyali MP on Tuesday June 16 said that he had finally tabled the motion after managing to meet the required threshold.

“Today I can confirm that I have tabled my petition to impeach CS James Macharia with 90 supporting signatures which is more than the threshold,” he posted.

Stalled projects worth Ksh100 billion and the Ksh5 billion scandal that hit Afya House during his tenure as Health CS are among the reasons cited in his impeachment motion.

The MP also said that the CS has also violated Article 73 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.

On Friday last week, the Nyali MP said he had decided to do so for the people of Mombasa, who are doomed to serious economic loss because of CS Macharia’s actions in forcing through patently illegal actions to prop up the profitability of the SGR.

Coast MPs however, issued a statement on Thursday explaining that they had ironed out transport issues, especially the Standard Gauge Railway cargo hauling with the CS, and reached a compromise.

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s incompetent Cabinet secretary is finally set to be kicked out.

The Transport and Infrastructure CS James Macharia’s fate now lies in the hands of the National Assembly. This is after Nyali MP Mohamed Ali managed to collect  90 signatures from fellow Members of Parliament in support of motion to impeach CS Macharia.

The journalist-turned politician through his official social media handles on Tuesday June 16 said that he had finally tabled the motion after managing to meet the required threshold.

“Today I can confirm that I have tabled my petition to impeach CS James Macharia with 90 supporting signatures which is more than the threshold,” he posted.

Stalled projects worth Ksh100 billion and the Ksh5 billion scandal that hit Afya House during his tenure as Health CS are among the reasons cited in his impeachment motion.

The MP also said that the CS has also violated Article 73 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.

On Friday last week, the Nyali MP said he had decided to do so for the people of Mombasa, who are doomed to serious economic loss because of CS Macharia’s actions in forcing through patently illegal actions to prop up the profitability of the SGR.

He further noted that he was also doing it for the people of Kenya,who are saddled with projects that have not been completed under CS Macharia’s watch but have been,and have to be paid for.

The first term MP has accused CS Macharia of three allegations. First, the lawmaker wants the CS impeached for gross violation of article 10 (1)(c) and 2(a) of the Kenyan constitution.

By failing to undertake public participation with leaders, stakeholders, or even departments within the ministry of transport in implementation of a policy decision to have cargo from Mombasa transported via Standard Gauge Railway, the MP says CS Macharia was in gross violation of the constitution.

He also accuses the CS of gross misconduct contrary to the provisions of Article 125 of the Kenyan constitution. Mohamed Ali says CS Macharia has, in several meetings between him and parliamentary committees, appeared to commit perjury by lying under oath and giving evidence in parliament through provision of inaccurate information.

VIDEO: Moha Jicho Pevu Tears Into Joho Over ‘Forced’ Covid-19 Testing in Mombasa

written by Mustafa Juma

Nyali constituency MP Mohamed Ali has clashed with governor Hassan Ali Joho over the mass testing for Covid-19 that kicked off in Mombasa on Saturday May 2, 2020.

A section of the residents of Mombasa boycotted the exercise, forcing governor Joho to lose temper on them.

Joho scolded the residents of Old Town for what he termed as evading coronavirus tests.

The furious governor expressed his disappointment that residents failed to avail themselves for the mass testing which the county had rolled to ascertain the spread of the deadly virus.

He further stated that once the residents will once more not avail themselves for the testing, they will be locked up in their houses.

Responding to Joho’s outburst on the Saturday night, the vocal journalist-turned politician opposed Joho’s words pointing out that it was not wise for the governor to ‘threaten’ the residents.

He went on to state that as coastal leaders, they ought to come up with a strategy to support the residents. Some of which he mentioned were; allowing health professionals to do their work and also giving scientists humble time to investigate the condition and offer advisory measures.

He further disclosed that most of the residents are reluctant in going for the tests since once confirmed positive, they are informed that quarantine and treatment costs are at their own costs.

He called off the governor for setting aside Ksh 700 Million shillings for fighting the pandemic.

He questioned the move on when parliament discussed such amounts and also went on to ask if the money is there, why are the residents forced to pay for the services.

He also opposed Joho’s idea on calling for a lock down in the county due to increase in number of the confirmed positive cases
