Makueni Senator Daniel Maanzo has filed a censure motion against President William Ruto in the Senate, accusing him of failing to protect Kenyans and address critical national issues.

In the motion, Maanzo lists several concerns, including what he describes as Ruto's failure, in his role as Chairperson of the National Security Council (NSC), to address issues such as police brutality and abductions.

"Concerned that Article 25(a) and (c) of the Constitution guarantees rights and fundamental freedoms that cannot be limited, including freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the right to a fair trial—rights that have been violated through recent abductions, torture, and disappearances of Kenyans," Maanzo notes.

The senator also criticised the Kenya Kwanza administration for inadequate public participation in key government initiatives, such as the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), the Adani controversy, the higher education funding model, and the Affordable Housing program.
