Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi’s sentiments in Machakos on Friday last week that he was the acting president has elicited harsh criticisms from the political divide with leaders terming the remarks as reckless and unconstitutional.
Leaders led by Baringo governor Benjamin Cheboi condemned the senator saying he should be assisted to read the constitution .
” I wonder what’s in the heads of some leaders who think there is no constitution that govern the country. It is unconstitutional for anyone to say he is the president,  such leaders should be assisted to read the constitution to understand, ” said Cheboi .

Nairobi Lawyer David Kiplagat scoffed at senator’s remarks saying if it was another country the senator could be behind bars urging leaders to respect institutions.  
“As a lawyer, there is no vacuum for anyone to say he is the acting president . It is wrong and it could lead to treason.  Everyone should respect institutions that are guarded by the constitution, ” said Kerich. 
The leaders were speaking in Kisok secondary school on Saturday during the school’s fundraiser in aid to construct a girl’s dormitory. 
The Director of Public Prosecutions has asked the inspector -General of police Joseph Boinnet to investigate Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko for declaring himself the acting president.
