The Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has accused president William Samoe Ruto of dividing the the National Assembly in to two.
In a statement via twitter, the outspoken ODM law maker note that President Ruto wrote to both speakers of both house, directing them to amend their standing orders to allow stangers in parliament (CS) to allow them attend the parliament plenary to answer questions.
Olekina termed this as something that is against the doctrine of Kenyan Constitution.
He note that amending article 153-3 of the constitution using standing order is absurd.
“For the future generations let me tell you. In 2023 @WilliamsRuto succeeded in dividing parliament between those who defend the constitution and those who mutilate it! He started by writing to the speakers of both houses and directed them to amend their standing orders to allow cabinet secretaries ( strangers in parliament ) to be allowed to attend PLENARY in parliament to answer GUIDED questions! Totally against the basic structure doctrine of the Kenyan constitution. Amending article 153-3 of the Kenyan constitution using standing orders. Totally absurd.” Said Olekina.
His remarks comes after president 50 CAS nominated by the first in command take oath of office. The swearing follows parliament failure to vet them over claims that their is no provision in the constitution of Kenya to vet the 50 CAS.
