The Senate Minority Leader and Siaya Senator James Orengo suggested that he will sponsor the impeachment of DP William Ruto on account of gross misconduct especially after being 'linked' to major corruption scandals that have been the topic of discussion in the country recently.
Renowned political analyst Professor Herman Manyora through his YouTube channel opines that the move proofs that the Senator was diminishing his political and law experience.
"Why did Orengo, a seasoned politician, with all his years of experience, a serious lawyer and a politician not see that this was a blunder he was making?" the Professor posed.
He went further to suggest that the move would actually work for DP Ruto.
"In fact, the question would be, is it possible that Orengo with all his years behind him, with all his experience, could not have seen that badala ya kubomoa Ruto hajui kwamba ingemjenga (Instead of this destroying Ruto, it will build him)?" he further stated.
Prof Manyora also stated that perhaps Senior Counsel James Orengo was just simply overexcited when he made the impeachment remarks.
According to Manyora, the impeachment debate make DP Ruto perceived a man under attack by 'big brothers' and that will make him get the sympathy votes that would eventually put him in a good position to win.
"By bringing a subnarrative of impeachment, it gives Ruto an advantage. He looks like he is under attack. Anytime people view somebody is being under attack or viewed as an underdog, it begins to attract sympathy votes," Manyora opined.
