The impeachment motion against Health CS Sicily Kariuki has been dropped, Majority Leader Aden Duale has said.
He said the House leadership has resolved to handle the matter internally as the issues raised against the CS did
not amount to gross violations of the
constitution.
“We will address those matters with the relevant government hierarchy, at the presidency (and) the government. We have serious other business to deal with like healthcare, manufacturing, food security, devolution and budget,” Duale said.

He said the mover of the motion Mandera North MP Bashir Addullahi agreed to drop the motion after consultations on Thursday morning.
“So we want to confirm that the motion that these colleagues have filed against our sister has been withdrawn and they have given the house leadership to deal with it," Duale said.
The MPs had accused the CS of unprocedural suspension of KNH CEO Lilly Koros, arrogance and disrespecting them.
At least 124 MPs had by Wednesday signed the motion.
The Constitution requires at least a third of the 349 members of the National Assembly to append their signatures to meet the threshold.
