Professionals from the Luo community have threatened to sponsor an impeachment motion against Siaya Governor James Orengo for criticising the broad-based government.
This comes days after Governor Orengo called out senior politicians over what he termed as 'psychophancy' to the government.
In a statement issued Wednesday morning in Nairobi, Nyanza professionals organisation dubbed Ramogi Professional Caucus reiterated that the community (Luo) is united behind the Ruto-Raila pact for development.
"We want to tell Siaya Governor James Orengo that we are not happy with his remarks at Oduor's burial on Saturday. As a community, we are united and fully support the broad-based government. This is the only way we can ensure we develop economically. We cannot be in opposition forever," Joshua Nyamori, RPC Chairman, says.

"If he continues like this, we will even impeach him," Polycarp Ochilo, a member, added.
In light of the above, the Luo professionals have also demanded an apology from Governor Orengo for speaking down to Ruto and embarrassing former Premier Raila Odinga at his lowest moment.
"By his actions, Orengo disrespected the president and embarrassed Raila at a time when he is in mourning and he should ask for an apology from the two leaders," a leadership expert, Rachael Omollo, added.
The group also called out the Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General Edwin Sifuna for his remarks against the president at the funeral.
Instead, they said Sifuna should only make those remarks in Nairobi, but not in the Nyanza region.
