Kapseret member of Parliament Oscar Sudi now says president Uhuru Kenyatta has no authority to tell his deputy William Ruto to resign.
Sudi said the two were elected as a pair and not individuals.
"President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are in a marriage and no one whatsoever has authority to tell the other one to resign and that it's only the the over fourty million Kenyans three can show them the door," said the Kapseret member of parliament while speaking to the press.
This comes after president Uhuru Kenyatta said that if his deputy is not contended with his government should resign.
"I want to tell president Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto that none of them can say that they want to get out of the government Kenyans gave you ten years and its only them who has the mandate to remove them," the Kesses legislator said.
The Kapseret legislator said elected leaders are custodians of Kenyans after they voted for them overwhelmingly
"As an elected member of parliament I am a custodian of Kapseret people, governor Jackson Mandago is the custodian of Uasin Gishu residents while president Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are custodians of Kenyans. It should not reach a point where one thinks the country is his let's respect each other," said Sudi.
However called on Kenyans to support the deputy president William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid saying he is best suited for the position.
"I want to call upon Kenyans across the country to support deputy president William Samoei Ruto's 2022 presidential bid since he is best suited to replace the incumbent president Uhuru Kenyatta who is serving his final term. We don't support Ruto because he is a Kalenjin but because he has good vision for the country therefore let's give him a chance and we won't regret," he said.
