Siaya Senator James Orengo has said that impeaching Deputy President William Ruto would be an easy task if it were to be started.
Speaking on Citizen TV's News Night, the lawmaker based his argument on Ruto's numerous implications on corruption dealings and scandals since he came to power in 2013.
He termed the questions on the DP's integrity as grounds enough to have him out, considering that he has admitted being involved in some questionable dealings.
"There is a long list of graft dealings where he has been implicated in. He has even admitted some, like the Muteshi Land and Weston Hotel sagas," said Orengo.
He added that Ruto can also be impeached for insubordination and undermining constitutionally established institutions, especially those tasked with fighting corruption.
Orengo noted that being part of the government, Ruto going around interfering with independent institutions amounts to undermining the institutions which translate to gross misconduct.
"Impeachable offences include insubordination and undermining the authority of constitutional institutions.
He has been doing that lately by fighting the institutions and that can be used to impeach him," he added.
Ruto has been condemning the ongoing purge on graft, terming it a political weapon against him.
He recently called for the exit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in graft investigations.
Instead, he has stressed the need for such cases to be handled by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission.
