“I saw others saying that since 300 MPs have issued signatures supporting my impeachment motion, I should just resign. Why would I resign if I didn’t give myself this job?” Gachagua said.
Gachagua added that he believes he has done nothing wrong and is confident in his position, asserting that no one would intimidate him into resigning.

“If they’ll resort to chasing me away, let them do it. People from Mt. Kenya are waiting for Rift Valley MPs to send me away,” he asserted.
In response, Kapseret MPย Oscar Sudiย ย reminded Gachaguaย that his time in office is limited, urging him to promote unity in Kenya while implying that Gachagua’s motives were self-serving.
