KANU press President Uhuru Kenyatta to fire his deputy William Ruto over gross misconduct and being dishonest.
The choice by Deputy President William Ruto to hop the COVID 19 conference at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) has advanced with mixed reactions among Kenyans.
On Tuesday, Kenya African National Union (KANU) Secretary-General, Nick Salat, accompanied other leaders in responding DP William Ruto snubbing an important event even after being invited by the President.
Sharing his views via social media, Salat said DPs move is unwarranted and can be termed as gross misconduct.
Salat said he should be there to support his boss at any State function as highlighted in the constitution thus the DP’s move to miss a pressing State event can be a point for his removal from office.
"Removal of deputy president for gross misconduct may arise when he refused and neglected to attend state function on COVID 19 response which is a global disaster," he said.
"He is supposed to assist the President in the execution of the roles of the Presidency, he is bound to perform the functions presented by the constitution and other functions of the president as the president may ASSIGN,” Salat said.
