]]> President Uhuru Kenyatta says even if opposition leader Raila Odinga wins the October 17 repeat poll, his ruling Jubilee party has the numbers to impeach him in less than three months.

Kenyatta  did not elaborate on the reasons that would lead to the impeachment.

President Uhuru Kenyatta says Jubilee, which has the majority of members in both Houses of Parliament, can make amendments to the Constitution based on its numbers.

In the National Assembly, with over 200 members Jubilee is only 13 members shy of the two-thirds majority needed to change the Constitution.

Kenyans must be told the truth, he says,  even if Raila Odinga  is elected Jubilee has the opportunity in Parliament within two or three months to impeach him.
