A fresh political storm is brewing after Saboti MP Caleb Amisi signaled support for an impeachment motion against President William Ruto, framing the move as a form of “public participation” amid growing public frustration.

The outspoken government critic pointed to mounting concerns among Kenyans, including rising fuel prices, controversial tax proposals in the Finance Bill 2026, and the debated U.S.-Kenya health cooperation arrangements that critics claim could turn Kenya into a regional quarantine hub.

Amisi’s remarks have ignited heated debate online, with supporters arguing that leaders must be held accountable for economic hardships facing ordinary citizens, while critics dismiss the move as political grandstanding ahead of the 2027 election cycle.

Among the issues fueling public anger are:

⛽ Rising fuel costs affecting transport and food prices

💰 New tax proposals impacting households and businesses

🦠 Controversial discussions around international health preparedness agreements

📉 Growing concerns over the cost of living

The comments have triggered a wave of reactions on social media, with hashtags calling for accountability trending across various platforms.

However, constitutional experts note that impeaching a sitting president is a complex legal and parliamentary process requiring significant support in both the National Assembly and Senate.

As political temperatures continue to rise, the big question remains:

🔥 Is this the beginning of a serious impeachment campaign or simply another chapter in Kenya’s increasingly heated political battles?
