Looks like he can be removed from office. So there is mechanism to removed DP from office.

(7)

The removal of president is clear, looks like there is a grey area in removal of the DP. The unless otherwise written somewhere else in the document:

- Necessary modification- is a grey area that will need to be interpreted by the courts.

- Also looks like president can nominate the DP if a vacacy arises

If not defined elsewhere in the document, Uhuru can use the gray area in removal clause( Necessary modification) to claim either, impeachment with simple majority or removal without parliment. he can make the case and have the courts rule on it.

(2)
The provisions of Articles 144 and 145 relating to the removal of the President shall apply, with the necessary modifications, to the removal of the Deputy President.

(2)
The provisions of Articles 144 and 145 relating to the removal of the President shall apply, with the necessary modifications, to the removal of the Deputy President.

The big question that i am asking myself is... what did Ruto do to Uhuru for Uhuru to make this 360 degrees turn around to the extent of wanting to fire him?

On the flip side, what did Uhuru do to Ruto for them to cease being buddies? Shida iko wapi wajameni? Why this about-turn? Githeri media should investigate the cause of this fallout and report huko kwa magazeti. It will form interesting reading and might even expose a major scam in Jubilee government that we are yet to know.

Anyway, i think Chapter 6 paragraph 75 section 2(b) can be used to send daktari back to hawking mahindi choma on Kampala road. Kimwarer/Arror scam is enough dossier. Even Linturi's divorce case can be used as evidence to the plunder that has happened in daktari's office.

Baba is already driving a national agenda fully funded by the exchequer and supported by majority of governors. It is glaringly obvious that HE Baba is in a coalition with HE Uhuru as a co-principal and their agenda is BBI and infrastructure/big 4.

I have no details of the scam...i am just an ordinary long suffering Kenyan trying to make ends meet....however...,

When DCI Kinoti went hard on the Kimwarer/Arror dam scam, the DP for the first time publicly reprimanded him.(I speak in code).

@murchr, there seem to be lots of info on the dams even in the blogs.
A team of investigators was dispatched to Italy armed with CCTV footages of the meetings held between Kenyan and Italian officials to negotiate the loan deal.
