Political tension is brewing in the country after a member of Parliament allied to the Azimio La Umoja Coalition revealed of a well detailed plan that will Deputy President Rigathi Gachagaua impeached.
Bumula MP Jack Wamboka, who was elected on the Democratic Action Party of Kenya, declared that he will bring an impeachment resolution against the nation’s second in command as soon as the national legislature starts meeting again on February 13.
“I have collected requisite signatures and immediately we resume next month, I will give the notice of the impeachment motion. I have not been sent by anyone. We cannot have a leader who is disenfranchising all Kenyans. Musalia is behaving better than the DP,” said Mr Wamboka during an interview with Nation.
“Every time Gachagua opens his mouth, you wonder whether he is the Deputy President [of Kenya] or he is the Deputy President of the Kikuyu republic. In fact, at some point, I will bring a motion in Parliament to discuss his conduct and impeach him because he is becoming a very big embarrassment to this country.”
His comment comes days after the recent utterances by Gachagua directed at Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja for allegedly persecuting businesspeople from Mt Kenya .
On December 19, 2022, the DP said: “We do not want his high speed [in making decisions] and I have summoned him for a sitting…It is a no for any of his decisions that might have a negative effect on our people.
“We made you governor and we are vigilant on our interests.
“We must get involved in decisions that have an effect on our people.”
And now, this battle for Nairobi is exposing the silent rift between the country’s second in command and Mr Mudavadi as leaders from Mt Kenya and Western regions exchanged bitterly in public. Political pundits are of the view that the war of words between legislators from the two regions is fuelled by the rift between Mr Gachagua and the former Vice President who are embroiled in a fight to attract Dr Ruto’s attention.
