Speaking in Mwea, Kirinyaga County on Saturday, September 28, the DP warned that he was the reason Ruto was elected as President.

The Deputy President cautioned his boss against inciting Members of Parliament to impeach him. Gachagua affirmed that he was elected by Kenyans and if anyone had a problem with him, they should report him to the people who elected him.

“I was voted in by the people of Kenya, the President did not elect me. We were elected on one ticket. You voted for President Ruto because Rigathi Gachagua was on that ticket. If I was not there, you would not have voted for Ruto,” Gachagua said.

Gachagua also addressed claims of his impeachment, asking Ruto to declare his stand on the matter instead of influencing MPs to push him out of office.

“If the President has become tired of the Mt. Kenya votes, he should tell us. He should stop telling MPs to push us out of our jobs,” the DP added.

Gachagua said the alleged plot to impeach him is meant to intimidate him and push him to resign, however, noting that he would not buy into it.

“You cannot sell fear to me, and if you try, I will not buy into it. They are trying to intimidate me and telling me to resign. I was voted in by the people, so anyone who believes I am wrong should report me to them and allow the people to decide if I am in the wrong or not,” he further said.

Elsewhere, senior leaders of the UDA party in the National Assembly have hinted that the impeachment motion against Gachagua will be tabled for debate next week.

Speaking to the media on Friday, September 27, Deputy Majority Leader Owen Baya stated that the motion would be tabled on Tuesday if approved by Speaker Moses Wetangula on time.

According to Baya, the impeachment motion against the DP was necessary owing to his recent actions in the public which have been termed unpresidential.

“On Tuesday, if the speaker okays it, then it will be on the floor of the house. We have a good team of lawyers that are meeting. They have a meeting this afternoon. They are looking through the document to ensure that we have something that is tight,” he said…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
