Meanwhile, Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua has urged President Kenyatta to move with speed and sack all Cabinet Secretaries in his government named in corruption cases.  However the senator wondered why CSs linked to the multi-billion dams scandals are still in office, saying they should be suspended until investigations are complete.
