Amisi dismisses call to file impeachment motion against Ruto
Saboti Member of Parliament (MP) Caleb Amisi has dismissed calls to file an impeachment motion against President William Ruto.
In a statement on his official X account on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Amisi said those urging non-Ruto-party MPs to file for his impeachment are targeting the wrong people.

The vocal MP said they should instead look to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Kenya Kwanza parliamentarians to file the motion.
Additionally, Amisi stated that he impeached Ruto during the 2022 general elections by voting against him.
“Those asking us to file an impeachment motion against Ruto, you are asking the wrong people. Look for an MP from UDA and Kenya Kwanza affiliates to do that,” Amisi said.
“I impeached Ruto a long time ago at the ballot in 2022. You cannot be fools in elections and ask the good people to help clean your mess.”
Amisi further stated that Kenyans might make another mistake during the 2027 general elections, and again, they would ask MPs to file an impeachment motion.
“Karibu niseme shenzi sana! You are about to make another mistake in 2027 and come and ask Caleb to file an impeachment motion in 2028. Ok, fine, frogmarch 233 mps to me, and I will file an impeachment motion. I am ready; bring those MPs now! Kenya needs a renaissance,” he added.
Impeachment motion
Amisi’s dismissal comes after People’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua called on MPs to initiate an impeachment motion against Ruto.
Speaking during an interview on a local media station on July 8, 2025, Karua suggested that Parliament could “redeem itself” by initiating impeachment proceedings against Ruto.
“Parliament can actually redeem itself and even the few who speak for the people, because I have to admit there are a few voices who speak for the people, they can initiate impeachment,” she added.
Karua argued that an impeachment motion would serve an important purpose regardless of its outcome, as it would provide a platform to expose government actions to both domestic and international audiences.
“An impeachment motion, whether successful or not, offers a chance to ventilate, sensitise Kenyans and the world of what is going on,” she explained.
The former Justice Minister emphasised that Parliament must make independent decisions despite party pressure.
“The parliamentary group has to come to its own decisions, and this is one of the things, an impeachment motion,” she reiterated.
