Ruto Should Resign Immediately Over Constitutional Violations - Says Kalonzo

Kalonzo Musyoka Demands President Ruto’s Resignation Over Constitutional Violations

Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka calls for President William Ruto to resign, citing constitutional violations and failure to address rising abduction cases.

Key Points from Kalonzo’s Accusations

Wiper Party leader and Azimio co-principal, Kalonzo Musyoka, has urged President William Ruto to resign immediately. Kalonzo argues that President Ruto is violating his oath to uphold the Kenyan Constitution and has failed to protect citizens amid a rise in abductions.

Constitutional Violation: Kalonzo accuses Ruto of breaking his oath to “be faithful and bear true allegiance to the public of Kenya” and to “obey, preserve, and protect the constitution of Kenya.”
Neglecting Public Safety: He claims the President dismisses frequent reports of abductions and extrajudicial killings as “fake news.”

Rising Abduction Cases in Kenya

Kalonzo criticizes President Ruto for allegedly overlooking a spike in abductions and enforced disappearances across the country. According to him, this trend threatens to turn Kenya into a “police state.”

Escalating Cases: Recent reports reveal multiple cases of enforced disappearances, some allegedly linked to state security agents.
Ruto’s Denial: Kalonzo points out that despite evidence, President Ruto has publicly denied any knowledge of such incidents, labeling them as “propaganda.”
