Investments, Trade and Industry CS Moses Kuria has sarcastically claimed he is in favour of Raila Odinga's new commitment to remove President William Ruto from office.
The opposition leader wants the president ejected for overseeing the biting cost of living and supposedly mismanaging the country.
To make good his maneuver, Raila wants to collect at least 10 million signatures from Kenyans before setting off the plan to impeach Ruto.
During the Saba Saba rally at Kamukunji grounds on Friday, July 7, the former prime minister kick-started the drive with his own signature.

Kuria now suggests this is a plan secretly driven by retired president Uhuru Kenyatta.
According to Kuria, Uhuru is calling the shots from behind the scenes and thus wants to keep Raila on toes with the move to impeach Ruto.
He claims that the former president is bankrolling the whole process.
"I really like this 10 million signatures thing. It is Uhuru's way of keeping Raila busy and out of the streets. Raila continues to enjoy Uhuru's weekly allowance without subjecting the cerelac revolutionaries to street battles. Everybody wins," says Raila.
The ODM leader announced his side's disinterest in the bi-partisan talks which Ruto had vouched for.
The opposition accused the government of its non-commitment on the talks which would have resolved the issues raised by the Raila-led side.
From the onset, Raila and his faction had wanted the cost of living, reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), and auditing of the electoral servers addressed.
