Senator Cherarkey Files Motion to Strip Uhuru Kenyatta of Retirement Benefits - May 2026
Nandi Senator Samson Cherarkey has filed a Senate motion seeking to withdraw or reduce retirement benefits for former President Uhuru Kenyatta, citing his continued political involvement and criticism of the current administration. The motion, officially titled the "Public Service Matters" motion, claims Kenyatta has been engaging in political activities that disqualify him from state benefits. The Jubilee Party has reacted strongly to this move, accusing Kenya Kwanza of using Uhuru as a scapegoat for government shortcomings. Former Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has also advised the current government to stop using Kenyatta as a scapegoat. Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has defended Kenyatta against accusations of funding the opposition, asserting he has no connection to the Linda Mwananchi initiative.
