 Kenya`s president was on Friday shoved to the centre of the irregular sale of Grand Regency Hotel. Lands Minister James Orengo and a government-owned human rights watchdog asked President Kibaki to act on the matter arguing that the buck stops with him.
Mr Orengo asked the President to sack Finance Minister Amos Kimunya, who is at the centre of the scandal.
Speaking at a news conference, Mr Orengo said President Kibaki should act if Mr Kimunya does not resign.
"The Executive and we, as members of the Cabinet, cannot bury our heads in the sand when there is constitutional crisis. The buck stops with the President," he said.
His call came as police dispersed a demonstration in support of Mr Kimunya in Nairobi. Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta also defended the Finance Minister saying that he was being subjected to a "lynching mob."
Police used tear gas to break up pro-Kimunya demonstrators led by politician Stanley Livondo.

'It is essential that the will of the Zimbabwean people be reflected. In the first round of the presidential election (March 29), Morgan Tsvangirai won a majority of votes with 47 percent,' European Commission spokesman John Clancy said.
'That is why any unity government must include Morgan Tsvangirai as prime minister or head of government with the necessary abilities to ensure reforms can take place,' he said. MORE>>> Write Comment (0 Comments) |
