Governors have dared Deputy President (DP) William Ruto to step aside, if the Jubilee government is truly committed to fighting corruption.

The County chiefs also said the president does not have powers over elected governors and maintained executive orders to step aside can only be issued to Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, parastatal heads and other officers under the executive.
