Kiharu MP, Ndidi Nyoro has faulted the Siaya Senator James Orengo for using Ruto’s impeachment plan to earn him direct nomination for 2022 Siaya governship position in 2022.
“He is therefore looking for political mileage so that he can keep his relationship with his party leader Raila Odinga and his political clout. Orengo and the Senate have no mandate to impeach the Deputy President, so I have no idea what Orengo could be smoking over there” , said Nyoro.
“What Orengo is doing, it’s actually Raila doing it… When they say they are bringing an impeachment motion it’s because Raila knows he can never get power through the ballot so he wants to get it through the back door… Kenya is a democracy, Raila if you want to be President present yourself to the people of Kenya,” added MP Nyoro.
On his part, Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa accused the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) of a greater plan to overthrow the government and not only DP Ruto.
“They have a history of planning doom to those they are in partnership with… The war on corruption was connived, now they have seen it is not working so now they have gone for impeachment,” said MP Barasa.
“Raila we respect you but you but you have become a fraudster and a conman…” he added.
Kuria West MP Mathias Nyamabe threw his weight behind DP Ruto saying that he had a lot of support in Parliament and will counter the impeachment motion.
“We want to tell you DP Ruto is an enigma, he has about 90% of MPs in Parliament,” said South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro.
While rubbishing corruption allegations against DP Ruto, Laikipia Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru noted that no arrests have been made against the DP so far. She also threatened to expose the former Prime Minister if he continues with his alleged plot.
