Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has reacted to President William Ruto's remarks on Saturday, that he is the Commander-in-Chief.
The president had said that the opposition would know he is in charge of the country if they destroy property during their planned Tuesday protests.
According to Karua, Ruto's remarks were in contempt of the Constitution of Kenya.
She noted that it was also ignorance on the side of the president.
"Amazing display of ignorance, contempt for the constitution and laws of Kenya," Karua said.
On Saturday, Ruto said he was ready to use his power and full force to ensure the life and property of all Kenyans is protected.
"I am the commander in chief, nyinyi mtajua hamjui...hakuna mali ya wananchi itaharibika tena, hakuna biashara ya mkenya itaharibika tena," Ruto retorted.
The President who spoke in Kakamega on Saturday said he has been lenient to the Opposition leaders by giving in to their demands but they have gone ahead to despise him.
"Hawa watu wawache mchezo, si tulimaliza uchaguzi? Si hawa watu ni madharau wanajaribu kunionyesha," he posed.
He added, "Walikuwa na serikali ya handshake, sisi tuliwafanyia maandamano, si waliendelea na maneno yao mpaka ikakwama? Kama wako na maneno wangojee 2027 tukutane kwa debe," he said.
According to Ruto, the leaders are using demonstrations to force their way into the government.
