People’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua has called on Parliament to summon the country’s defence leadership over what she describes as an “assault on constitutionalism,” following a warning by Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) General Charles Kahariri against the ‘Ruto must go’ campaign.

She said it is disturbing that the head of an institution “as disciplined as the armed forces should descend into the arena of partisan politics, and purport to direct Kenyans on how far they should exercise their hard-won liberties and rights.”
