Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi now wants Meru MCAs to impeach Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
Speaking on Friday, the CS claimed that the people of Meru have made it clear that they want Governor Mwangaza out.
The CS urged Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua not to save Mwangaza again if she is kicked out of the house.
"Meru is bigger than the Deputy President. I don't think DP Rigathi Gachagua can fail to listen to what the Meru people are saying. Meru is simply saying Kawira must go," he said.
Linturi spoke after visiting Meru Deputy Governor Isaac Mutuma who was admitted to Karen Hospital.
Mutuma who has been having differences with his boss Kawira Mwangaza was admitted to the hospital on Friday.
"I urge all the Meru MCAs to go back and do the necessary. We're entirely embarrassed! It's a matter of when and not if," the CS said.
Linturi said that instead of Meru having a leadership problem, the constitution allows the MCAs to carry out the mandate of even impeaching the county boss.
Linturi who was asked if he did not fear being told he is the one who incited the MCAs said that what is happening is more shameful.
"It has reached a point where people exchange words in front of the President. I cannot keep quiet when Meru is going in the wrong direction," he said.
"Meru MCAs should dispense their constitutional mandate if the differences between Mwangaza, his deputy and other leaders are inconsolable."
The CS vied for the Meru governor seat and lost to Mwangaza. He was second while former Meru governor Kiraitu Murungi came in third.
During a meeting in Kiengu on Friday where Interior CS commissioned Kiengu sub-county offices, Meru MPS also took a swipe at the governor.
The MPs present were Dan Kiili (Igembe Central), Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri), John Paul Mwirigi (Igembe Central), Julius Taitumu (Igembe North) Shadrack Mwiti (Imenti South) Rahimo Dawood (North Imenti) Mpuru Aburi (Tigania East) Kirima Nguchine (Central Imenti) Meru senator Kathuri Murungi Meru women rep Elizabeth Kailemia among other leaders.
Aburi said that Mwangaza will go home whether he likes it or not.
"I told the people of Meru and am now repeating that Mwangaza should not be the county boss," Aburi said.
Other MPs echoed the sentiments.
