Ruto faces censure as senate questions leadership and public engagement

The Senate is set to debate a motion filed by Senator Daniel Maanzo of Makueni County, raising concerns about President William Ruto’s conduct and accusing him of breaching constitutional obligations.

The motion, submitted during the Senate’s third session, has called for a censure of the President for failing to uphold national unity and proper governance.

The document cites Article 260 of Kenya’s Constitution, which places the President under strict leadership and integrity guidelines, asserting that the head of state must adhere to provisions of Articles 73, 75, and 77. These articles outline the expected behavior of state officers, including promoting unity and respecting the diversity of the Kenyan people.

According to the motion, President Ruto has failed to address issues such as police brutality, delayed funding to counties, and insufficient protection of citizens, particularly in light of recent cases of abductions, torture, and disappearances. The motion also faults the President for the delayed devolution of health and agricultural services, which has negatively impacted local communities.

In his statement, Senator Maanzo underscored, “We are concerned that the President has marginalized sections of Kenyans, exacerbating tensions due to lack of proper public participation on key national issues, including affordable housing and university education fees.”

The motion further accuses Ruto’s administration of failing to engage citizens in decision-making processes, particularly in relation to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) and the affordable housing program. These omissions are seen as contradictions to Articles 10(2), 119(1), 174(c), and 232(1), which require inclusive public participation in governance matters.

“The breach of constitutional duties has demeaned the high office of the President of the Republic of Kenya,” the motion read.

The Senate’s move to express “displeasure and disappointment” with President Ruto, through standing order 101(1), reflects rising tensions within the country over governance failures.
