Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, in a statement on Monday, accused President William Ruto of failing to follow the Constitution following his alleged threats during a rally on Sunday.
Omtatah criticised the Head of State for ignoring calls by young Kenyans and instead offering political solutions to their demands.
"The President's obsession with having a dialogue with the demonstrators clearly shows that; either he has not grasped the fact that their grievances require administrative and political solutions or that he is deliberately using the call to dialogue to delay, distort and destroy the Gen Z narrative of good governance," he argued.
He argued that the dialogue proposed by Ruto was a political solution to issues such as better governance, a lean budget, and a corruption-free cabinet.
The senator also fired at all politicians backing the dialogue calls and terming them as opportunistic.
According to Omtatah young Kenyans were demanding immediate action, not the tedious dialogue process that will benefit a few individuals.
He added that Gen Zs were demanding an end to police brutality, abductions and extrajudicial killings, prosecution of those powerful individuals behind scams in government such as fake fertiliser and the cooking oil gas saga and they were also demanding the arrest of all police officers who killed innocent demonstrators as well as transparency and accountability from leaders.
"There is no demand which the Gen Zs are making which requires political solutions through dialogue. Hence the president and all those opportunists demanding to hold dialogue with the protestors are barking up the wrong tree, and they must be stopped in their tracks by Kenyans of goodwill," his statement read in parts.
Omtatah advised the President that if he was unable to deliver to the people of Kenyans, he should step down for Kenyans to choose a leader willing and adhering to the Constitution.
Conclusively, the Senator warned the president against using unlawful means to stop the ongoing anti-government protests in the country. He added that as President Ruto must uphold the Constitution.
He criticised Ruto's warning words while speaking in Bomet on Sunday adding that they made him sound "dangerous and desperate". The senator informed the President that he had limited powers.
"The country is bigger than any individual and those who are given the chance to govern it under the law must be equal to the task and do their work dutifully or quit," Omtatah emphasised.
