May 21, 2020, marked a day of intense criticism for Jubilee Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga, who has been accused of betraying Deputy President William Ruto.
Omanga, who has previously admitted to being dependent on Ruto's support, was among the Senators who approved the motion to impeach Senate Deputy Speaker Kithure Kindiki.
Her decision to support the motion has sparked outrage among Kenyans, with many questioning her loyalty to Ruto.
As reported by a local daily, Omanga was among the six Jubilee Nominated Senators who declined to attend a Senate Parliamentary Group Meeting at State House last week.
They have been asked to write a show cause letter and risk being expelled from the Senate.
On Twitter, Kenyans have been expressing their disappointment and frustration with Omanga's actions, with some calling for her impeachment.
"Were it not for DP Ruto, she would still be hawking bedsheets and curtains, she is not royal," tweeted Dennis maina.
"On Millicent Omanga, I insisted that most people close to DP Ruto are there for convenience; usually motivated by his handouts. This is the time he needs friends," tweeted Abuga Makori EGH, MBE.
"If the war is fair, then Millicent Omanga's ouster should begin immediately. After kindiki impeachment as planned, her impeachment motion should follow," tweeted ESIMBA.
"Slay Queens are not even lasting in politics. Millicent Omanga disowned DP William Ruto faster than someone drops a panty. Beware who you nominate or give political favours. You need seasoned fighters and not these slay queens and kings," tweeted Robert Alai.
