Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula wants former President Uhuru Kenyatta stripped of his retirement benefits.
Savula claimed that Uhuru was using proxies to derail the government agenda and said that the only way to stop him was for a motion to be tabled in Parliament to withdraw the benefits.
He challenged Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke to table the motion in Parliament.
"Honorable Waluke, Section 6 of the Retirement Benefits Act states that if a retired President participates in active politics six months after leaving office, the benefits should be removed. Take that motion to Parliament, you remove the benefits so that he quits politics," Savula said.
The Deputy Governor alleged that without the support of President Ruto, Uhuru would not have served for two terms.
Waluke said that the former president was getting retirement benefits courtesy of the office he held.
