Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo now claims that a plan could be in the making to impeach President Uhuru Kenyatta.
This comes only a day after National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi claimed that lawmakers allied to Deputy President William Ruto are planning an impeachment motion against Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i.
According to Amollo, Matiang'i is just one of the excuses being used by the team which is nicknamed 'Team Tangatanga' but the main target could be Uhuru.
"I think the President, not Dr Matiang’i, is the target for impeachment," he said on NTV's AM Live on Tuesday morning.
This comes amid an apparently widening rift between the two leaders and their allies, differences that began after Uhuru's truce with Orange Democratic Movement boss Raila Odinga early last year.
The opposition parliamentarian stressed on the need for the DP to make up his mind on either accepting himself under the President or exit power altogether.
"The day the DP decides he cannot; believe the president, deputize the President he should step aside," he added.
Amollo added that Ruto is bitter with Matiang'i over his recent elevation to a position resembling that of a Chief Minister, which seems to have trimmed the DP's powers.
