Orengo's move to impeach the DP prove that this handshake thing was meant to protect political dynasties. It has nothing to do with unity or common mwananchi. We are not boarding. With son of peasant on this one.

Word to Orengo 'what will not kill Ruto will make him Stronger' it could end up being counter productive and be Ruto's fodder to step up his game to the next level as has been the case, negative situations seem to help Him

Speaking during an event in Ugenya, Orengo mentioned that Dr Ruto can be shown the door if it is found that he has violated the Constitution or any other law.

He noted that Article 150 of the Constitution can be used to throw out DP Ruto.

“I want to repeat here and now that the Senate together with the National Assembly, we want to bring a motion of impeachment to kick out DP Ruto from office,” Orengo asserted.

According to the Senate Minority leader, the Constitution allows the President to appoint a new deputy president after his removal, with the approval of the National Assembly.

He affirmed that Kenya cannot make progress with a Deputy President who is constantly at the center of every corruption case.

Orengo noted that it is time for lawmakers to make maximum use of the Constitution by demonstrating the power of the Constitution to those who think they are above the law.
