Political analyst Edward Kisiang'ani now wants Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor Patrick Njoroge out of office over claims of gross misconduct.
This comes only days after Njoroge introduced the new currency denominations which are set to replace the current notes.
However, a number of political players have termed the newly designed bills as illegal, since they depict images of founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Kisiang'ani concurred that the image of Kenyatta's statue on the Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC) goes against Article 231 of the constitution.
"It does not matter from which angle you look at it. The conclusion is the same. The new banknotes launched recently by the CBK violate Article 231 of the Constitution. Nobody should ever be allowed to violate our Supreme Law, the Constitution. Period," he wrote.
Kisiang'ani said that there is a need for Kenyans to demand the full implementation of the 2010 Constitution and push for the ouster of those violating the laws.
According to the former Citizen TV resident political commentator, Kenyans should begin with Njoroge who, according to him, has defied constitutional dictates.
"Kenyans should now demand the full implementation of the 2010 Constitution. Those who violate or refuse to implement this Constitution should not hold public office. Let us begin the process by asking CBK Governor Njoroge to step aside for gross violation of the Constitution," he added.
Similar concerns were initially raised by members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party before the party leadership declared it's full support for the new notes.
