Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo has filed a censure motion against Ruto at the Senate over the conduct of the head of state.
According to the senator, the president has failed in his capacity as the head of state to address key issues and problems facing the citizens of Kenya at the moment.
In the motion, Dan Maanzo wants Ruto censured over the recent treatment of protestors during the antigovernment protests in Nairobi.
The senator argues that Ruto failed to protect the lives of Kenyans at the height of the protests despite being the Chair of the National Security Council.
“CONCERNED THAT Article 25(a) (c) provides for rights and fundamental freedoms which CANNOT be limited; the right to freedom from torture and cruel inhuman treatment or degrading treatment or punishment, right to fair trial bearing in mind the recent abductions, torture and disappearances of Kenyans.’’
The motion continues to argue that the President watched over the management of the government and failed to ensure that Kenyans had access to better services within the devolved units further accusing the president of delay in remitting funds to counties.
