Public anger over the proposed 2026/2027 Finance Bill, which
tweaks income tax and VAT laws, has sparked widespread online demands to
impeach Ruto.
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi leads the charge, urging constituents to
pressure MPs and claiming over 117 lawmakers support tabling a motion under
Article 145 of the Constitution—though no formal action has appeared in
Parliament as of June 1, 2026.
Kirinyaga Women Rep Njeri Maina dismissed the effort,
challenging backers to name even 50 supporters, while Ruto's allies hold a
majority and no verified list exists.
The uproar echoes 2024 protests and highlights economic strains
testing Kenya's democratic processes.
