President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday summoned Cabinet for a meeting in State House, forcing DP William Ruto to cancel some of his engagements.

But Etale, the ODM Communication Director, said the President is at liberty to call for meetings, adding that cabinet meetings are usually held on Thursdays.

"I thought cabinet meetings are held on Thursday and it has been a tradition since we became Independent. And more-so it is the President who summons his Cabinet for a meeting," he wrote on Facebook.

"And btw, if Hon. Onesmus Kimani Ngunjiri is dissatisfied with the President, he is free to initiate an impeachment motion against the President in Parliament instead of issuing unnecessary press statements and uncouth public verbal diarhhoea."

Earlier on Thursday, Ngunjiri accused Uhuru of calling Ruto for a meeting deliberately to make him cancel meeting with Mt Kenya leaders.

“There was a day deputy president was coming to a funeral in my constituency changed the burial date from Saturday to Friday, today they heard we were going to visit him at his home they called urgent cabinet meeting so that we cannot see him,” said the Bahati MP who is also the DP president staunch supporter.

Dr Ruto was set to meet Kikuyu community living in Rift Valley at his Sugoi home on Thursday.
