Nominated Senator Paul Njoroge Ben wants President Uhuru Kenyatta to ask Mr Ruto to step aside over the National Youth Service theft of Sh791m.
Njoroge said Ruto should pave the way for investigations into scandal.
“I humbly appeal to the President to ask his deputy to step aside like what happened to his (Ruto’s) former Chief of Staff Maryanne Keitany to pave [the] way for quick investigations,’ he said.
The TNA senator said Ruto should be investigated.
“I believe the CID and EACC should investigate Deputy President William Ruto’s bank accounts, his aide Farouk Kibet, (National Assembly Majority Leader) Aden Duale and (Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator) Kipchumba Murkomen.
“We cannot continue fooling Kenyans by making them think [former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne] Waiguru stole the NYS funds yet the real thieves are enjoying the NYS stolen funds,” Njoroge said.
DP Ruto’s spokesman David Mugonyi rubbished Njoroge’s calls.
“I have no time to answer such characters,” Mugonyi said.
