Siaya Senator James Orengo pledged on Sunday to institute an impeachment motion against Deputy President William Ruto. 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. Orengo added that the threshold for the removing of the Deputy President in office on the constitutional grounds is much lower than the criminal prosecution threshold.
