Canadian lawyer Miguna Miguna has asked Siaya Senator James Orengo to impeach both president Uhuru and Deputy William Ruto.
The 2018 Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant has taken a step to explain why he thinks, DP Ruto should not go home alone but with his senior.
Siaya Senator James Orengo on Sunday expressed his intention to oust DP Ruto over corruption claims.
Orengo said a Deputy President can be kicked out of office if it’s found that he or she has violated the Constitution or any other law.
The Senator said the country cannot move forward with a Deputy President who is at the centre, any time a corruption case is mentioned.
Addressing Ugenya residents during campaigns for the Ugenya by-election, Orengo said Article 150 of the Constitution is enough to throw out DP Ruto.
In the case of impeachment, the Deputy President can be ousted on the ground of a gross violation of a provision of the Constitution or any other law, where there are serious reasons to believe that the Deputy President has committed a crime under national or international law, and for gross misconduct.
Miguna, however, claims that DP Ruto, deputise everything that Uhuru does including corruption.
” If Orengo intends to bring an impeachment motion, he must do so against the 2 individuals occupying the PRESIDENCY – Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto In a PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM, Ruto is merely an APPENDAGE of Uhuru Kenyatta. He deputies Uhuru on everything including corruption, ” he tweeted.
