AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Jubilee Party National Vice Chairman David Murathe has dismissed as false claims by Tangatanga leaders that there is a plot to impeach Deputy President William Ruto.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a local TV station on Thursday, Murathe said no one was plotting to impeach Ruto as claimed by the DP allies.\u201cThe impeachment talk, is something being used by leaders allied to him (DP) to seek sympathy, but I can tell you for sure it is neither here nor there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Murathe (pictured<\/strong>) said the relationship between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy had ended\u00a0after the latter threatened and defied\u00a0his boss.He said Ruto had been using his proxies to challenge President Uhuru in the past until last week during the Senate PG meeting at State House when he took on his boss by whipping senators to skip his meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuto was at his Karen home calling Senators and telling them\u00a0to skip a PG meeting called by the party leader, this is insubordination of the highest degree,\u201d he said.Murathe said what the DP did was not only insubordination but also a threat to President Uhuru.\u201cWhipping senators not to attend the State House PG meeting was bad, it is unheard of anywhere in the world. It was a threat to the President,\u201d Murathe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWha he did was like asking the President \u2018who do you think you are? I will ask the senators to skip your PG meeting. Unfortunately, he failed to convince the leaders not to attend,\u201dRuto allies led by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria have claimed that a plot has been hatched to impeach him.Kuria claimed that Kieni MP Kanini Kega was planning to table an impeachment motion against Ruto in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

“I know Kanini Kega has a motion ready for the impeachment of DP Ruto. In the mind of Uhuru he fired Ruto a long time ago, why are we firing him twice? He has accepted he is just waiting for his term to end,” said Kuria.Ruto’s allies have said the ongoing purge in the Senate and the imminent one at the National Assembly are meant to pave way for Ruto\u2019s ouster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
