Despite Orengo’s plan to bring an impeachment motion against DP Ruto, chances are high that Ruto will remain the country’s deputy president until 2022 according to Garissa Town Mp Aden Duale

The Majority Leader has accused Siaya Senator James Orengo of being in a “legal slumber” and misleading the public about his ability to impeach the deputy president.

Duale also stated that the leader of the minority in the Senate had failed to understand or chose to ignore the most important aspects of any impeachment process of either the deputy president or the president.

The Garissa Town legislator took to his Facebook page to list all the five requirements for an impeachment process to be successful.

Being in the Senate is the first huddle for Orengo as the motion of no confidence in either the president or his deputy can only originate from the national assembly, Duale went on to quote article145 and Article 150 of the constitution.

“Under the same article, the process can ONLY be initiated by a sitting member of parliament. The constitution has no room for strangers he is imagining he can sponsor to initiate the process,” Duale wrote.

The third condition that Duale gave was that any MP wishing to start the process must acquire signatures of not less than a third of the entire membership of the National Assembly since the Assembly has 349 members that translate to 117 signatures.

“That would be an uphill task for anyone- the idea would die before it even starts,” Duale Added

The fourth hurdle for Orengo would be getting 233 MPs to support the motion for it to sail to the second stage which according to Duale, would be a political nightmare.

When the motion sails through all those stages, a committee of eleven is formed and this is where the Senate gets involved. The committee’s role is to find the grounds to substantiate the allegations whose report should be tabled before the Senate within 10 days.

When taken to the Senate, the motion would require a two-thirds majority of the house to be effected.

Duale then went ahead to accuse Orengo of engaging in cheap, worthless fishing expeditions based on a political witch hunt.

“He will not distract us from the big 4 agenda,” Duale concluded.
