Azimio MP, Caleb Amisi now claims President William Ruto is the easiest to impeach after betraying Kenyans
Azimio MP, Caleb Amisi now claims President William Ruto is the easiest to impeach after betraying Kenyans.
A section of leaders allied to the opposition are now threatening to impeach President William Ruto, claiming he has betrayed Kenyans.
On Saturday, July 1, 2023, in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, the leaders, led by former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugine Wamalwa and Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi, claimed that the President had grown inattentive to the problems that the nation’s economy was facing.
The campaign to gather signatures to remove the Head of State from office is on track, according to the leaders of the Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya alliance.
As a result of his “luck” in winning the presidency, Amisi claims that Ruto is the easiest president to remove from office.
“If there is the easiest president to remove from office, it is William Ruto because he luckily won the election. When you walk around asking who voted for him, nobody can tell you. Those who voted for him are complaining about the cost of living,” Amisi told a crowd at the Kitale Municipal market.
Wamalwa, on his part, faulted President Ruto’s administration over the current high cost of living and promised that Azimio would continue to hold the government accountable for the country’s worrying inflation rate.
“We are the ones fighting for the downtrodden because the other guys from Kenya Kwanza who promised to make your lives better have made them worse,” Wamalwa said as he faulted Endebess MP Robert Pukose for voting in favour of the Finance Bill 2023.

Impeaching President Ruto, would, however, be a tall order for the opposition, because Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza side enjoys a majority in Parliament.
The Azimio coalition has been critical of the Finance Act signed into law last Monday, piling pressure on President Ruto to repeal it.
Led by Azimio leader Raila Odinga, opposition chiefs recently called on Kenyans to embrace tax boycotts as a form of political protest against the Kenya Kwanza administration.
“Ruto is testing whether we still have the will, energy, and resolve to fight the re-emergence of dictatorship. After stealing our elections last year Ruto now thinks he can steal anything and get away with it. We have to stop Ruto and we have to do it now,” Raila said at Kamukunji Grounds last Tuesday.
Ruto signed into law the Finance Bill 2023, doubling Value Added Tax (VAT) on petroleum products to 16 per cent from 8 per cent despite a majority of Kenyans opposing the proposal due to the current state of the economy.
