- Siaya Governor James Orengo has urged President William Ruto to resign, citing overwhelming public anger towards the Kenya Kwanza administration
- Speaking in Bondo, Orengo emphasized that Ruto’s departure, along with his entire government, is necessary to address the nation’s dissatisfaction and bring about a new political era
- This call comes after the scrapping of the 2024 Finance Bill, which has left the country facing severe financial challenges and a projected need to borrow Ksh.1.2 trillion to sustain government operations
In a bold statement, Siaya Governor James Orengo has called for President William Ruto’s resignation, citing widespread public dissatisfaction with the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Speaking in Bondo on Sunday, Orengo emphasized that if President Ruto were attuned to the national sentiment, he would step down, as the anger against his government is palpable.
Orengo argued that the president’s resignation, along with the entire administration, would be the most honorable course of action for a leader who claims to uphold Christian values.
“If Ruto was listening to the mood of Kenyans, he would know that talking to him will not resolve anything; there is too much anger against the Kenya Kwanza administration. If he is truly a Christian, he should just resign with this entire government,” Orengo stated.
