The foul public exchanges between President William Ruto and his two former allies-turned-foes speak to a major constitutional question that needs formal investigation and conclusion. Is the country in the right hands? 

Recent outbursts by two senior political leaders in lengthy television interviews paint the picture of a president in breach of office, the law and the Constitution, and basic common decency. Apart from intentional breaches, they raise the question of the president’s mental suitability to lead. They point to the need for State House to come clean on allegations of abuse of office. But, perhaps more significant, is the question of the president’s physical and mental fitness to hold that office, weighed against Article 144 of the Constitution of Kenya (2010).
