Siaya senator James Orengo is reportedly set to institute an impeachment motion against the Deputy President William Ruto, as he claims the DP is always at the centre when corruption cases are mentioned.
This new declared war has excited Kenyans who have mixed feelings over the move.
In addition to Ruto’s woes, a section of Jubilee legislators identifying as #TeamKenya has called for the ouster of Deputy President William Ruto.
Speaking on Saturday at Kathiani Constituency, Machakos County, the leaders echoed President Uhuru Kenyatta’s recent remarks that he would go after corrupt officials including his “closest political allies”.
“This war against corruption will not stop! It will be messy and untidy… but it will be done. Period. #Kitaeleweka,” Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu quipped.
The leaders threatened that they may soon consider invoking Article 150 on the ‘Removal of Deputy President’.
The article stipulates that the DP can be removed on the ground of physical or mental incapacity to perform the functions of the office or through an impeachment.
