You have violated the Constitution you swore to protect and disobeyed court orders. These are clear provisions of impeachment,\u201d<\/em> stated Wamalwa.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, <em>\u201cIt\u2019s unconstitutional, illegal, and a slap in the face of Kenyans. If those police officers return in body bags, we will hold you responsible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Echoing Wamalwa\u2019s remarks, Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo accused President Ruto of betraying his voters, claiming Kenya was being manipulated for selfish ends.<\/p>\n<p>According to Maanzo, there are sufficient grounds for Ruto\u2019s impeachment, urging lawmakers to consider the matter seriously.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt is high time President Ruto is impeached. There are enough grounds to impeach the President. Sending Police officers to a mission in Haiti is blatant violation of rule of law and the constitution. This is unacceptable,\u201d<\/em> asserted Maanzo.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Ruto\u2019s US Trip<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>At the same time, Azimio leaders have raised concerns about the expenditure incurred during Ruto\u2019s recent US trip.<\/p>\n<p>Kalonzo, Kioni, and Wamalwa challenged Ruto to disclose the taxpayer funds spent on the trip and the benefits the US would gain.<\/p>\n<p>The Wiper leader demanded that Ruto clarify the security implications for Kenya following his US visit, while Kioni criticized the Kenya Kwanza government for alleged extravagance, suggesting the actual expenditure on the trip could be higher.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe cannot copy everything from US. What will be security implications on Kenya following President Ruto\u2019s US visit?<\/em>\u201d posed Kalonzo.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cKenyans need to be told what the US government is going to gain in return for the goodies sent to us? We must be told the truth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In response, Ruto defended his mode of transport to the USA, asserting that using a hired jet was more cost-effective than traveling on commercial flights.<\/p>\n<p>Kioni also criticized the Kenya Kwanza government for burdening Kenyans with additional taxes, particularly through the Finance Bills of 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe have also boarded planes and traveled around the world. It is not true that it is cheaper to use commercial flights than hiring\u00a0 a jet.
