Thursday, October 31, 2024 – Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka is a man on a
mission. This is after he called for the immediate resignation of President
William Ruto.
The Azimio co-principal accused
the President of violating his oath of office of protecting the Constitution of
Kenya.
“Mr. Ruto should resign with
immediate effect for violating his Oath of Office ‘to be faithful and bear
true allegiance to the Republic of Kenya,’ and that he would ‘obey, preserve
and protect this constitution of Kenya’,” Kalonzo said.
He also accused Ruto of ignoring
the numerous abduction cases in the country and terming them as fake
news despite the incidents happening at a high rate.
“Despite overwhelming
evidence, Mr. Ruto continues to claim that he is not aware of any such
incidents.
“Ruto further says that these abductions and extrajudicial killings
are ‘fake news and propaganda that is hurting our nation’,” Kalonzo
continued.
According to Kalonzo, Ruto aims
to revert Kenya to a police state, a move that is hurting the nation.
“We want to make it clear
to Mr Ruto that it is his ill-thought-out efforts to revert Kenya to a police
state that is hurting the nation. The buck stops with him.” the Azimio
co-principal assured.
Kalonzo’s call comes at a time
when cases of abductions and enforced disappearances in the country which
have been linked to state security agents, have been on the rise in recent
days.
This is a stark contrast to the
promise Ruto made when he took office.
The latest disappearance is that
of social media personality Maveric Aoko who has been on the frontline
criticising the government.
Before her disappearance,
political blogger Francis Gaitho, known for criticising Ruto’s policies, had
also gone missing.
