Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah vows to initiate impeachment against President Ruto over his attacks on the Judiciary.
Senator Okiya Omtatah of Busia has disclosed his intention to file legal action against President William Ruto for his persistent attacks on the judiciary.
The senator clarified to the media on Friday that the President had gone too far in interfering with the Judiciary’s function.
In addition to pursuing legal action in court, the activist threatened to support Ruto’s impeachment if he did not withdraw his comments, which he claimed damaged the judiciary’s reputation.
” I’m trying to get the police to record my statement. The case has been transferred from Nairobi to Kisii and I will be heading there on January 31, 2024, to deal with it,” he detailed.

“To me, it’s a serious allegation because the independence of the Judiciary is not for his benefit but for that of the people. It’s the people who benefit when the judge is not biased.”
“So this is something close to my heart and I would be asking that the President withdraws his statement or I’ll build a file for him to leave office and deal with him,” Omtatah told KTN News.
In addition, Omtatah lauded the judges for the judgments delivered on Friday including the nullification of the Housing Levy and the barring of the National Police Service (NPS) from deploying police officers to Haiti.
He noted that the independence of the Judiciary is integral to the development of a country.
“The Judiciary gave priority to the people of this country. If we allow this law that has been declared unconstitutional to continue, it will create chaos and the public interest will not be served in that route,” he added.
