Uhuru tells governors being elected not a right to loot

Kidero who has long been touted as President Kenyatta’s ally said he would not step aside as the Constitution clearly spelt out the process and grounds upon which a governor should vacate their office.

Ruto, who is the Council of Governors Chairman, denied knowledge of any EACC investigation into his dealings and said should their names be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, it would contravene standing orders.

“We are going to see if the Speakers are going to change the Standing Orders over the weekend,” he said.

Speakers of the Senate and National Assembly, Ekwe Ethuro and Justin Muturi, on receiving the names from President Kenyatta on Thursday said the names would be made public on the floor of Parliament when his annual progress report comes up for debate on Tuesday.
