Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo has officially filed a motion in the Senate to discuss the conduct of President William Ruto, raising serious concerns about his leadership. The motion comes hot on the heels of another filed in Parliament seeking the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Maanzo’s motion not only calls for a critical review of Ruto’s presidency but also accuses the Head of State of failing in his constitutional duties.
At the heart of the motion are allegations of constitutional violations by President Ruto, which Senator Maanzo says must be addressed urgently. Among the key issues raised are the President’s alleged inability to safeguard Kenyans from police brutality, a matter that has sparked national outrage. Maanzo also pointed out that Ruto’s government has been delaying and reducing county allocations, which has crippled essential services at the local level.
“This is not about political rivalry, this is about accountability,” Maanzo stated during his address in the Senate. He emphasized that the motion was necessary to address what he termed as a pattern of failures within the executive arm of government, further complicating Kenya’s governance structure.
The motion has already created a buzz in political circles, with many wondering whether the Senate will act on it or whether it will meet the same fate as the numerous other attempts to hold top government officials accountable. Senator Maanzo, however, remains adamant that a thorough review of President Ruto’s leadership is crucial, not just for the Senate but for the entire nation.
