Embakasi Central MP Mejja Donk asserted that allies of Deputy President William Ruto are prepared to counter any impeachment motion against him. Speaking in Maragua on Saturday, the MP stated that they would not be intimidated by impeachment threats from MPs attempting to undermine the DP.
“We are telling them, bring it on, we will deal with it,” Donk declared during a fundraiser hosted by area MP Mary Wa Maua. He emphasized that they would no longer tolerate threats directed at the DP and his supporters.
Donk also criticized a group of MPs and leaders from Northern Kenya who have threatened to initiate the removal of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from office. He expressed disappointment that these leaders, who have previously opposed Gachagua’s efforts to unite the Mount Kenya region, have not condemned MPs defending the country’s spymaster, Noordin Haji.
”We want those claiming that we are preaching tribalism to also rebuke the Northern Kenya leaders,” he said.
At the same time, Donk took a swipe at a senior state officer for attacking Gachagua saying the officer is eyeing to deputise President William Ruto in 2027.
“There are some ministers traversing this area and their work is absolute abuses and insults, I am sending a message to those cabinet secretaries, that even if you have an appetite for the DP office, it is not vacant at the moment,” he said.
The MP asked Gachagua to bring up the matter of being disrespected at the Cabinet when they meet next saying it was unfortunate that juniors are undermining their boss.
”When you go to the cabinet please talk and address this issue, those who want that seat, let them wait for 2027 and look for those whom they can deputise,” he said.
Addressing the press in Nairobi, Northern Kenya leaders expressed their dissatisfaction with the remarks noting leveling accusations against him in the press is not only reckless but also unfortunate.
According to the leaders, Gachagua has an opportunity to raise the matter in the security committee which he is part of instead of making the matter public.
“The DP’s actions in discussing sensitive civil servants such as the Director General of the NIS in the press instead of taking his concerns to the National Security Committee in which both of them sit, are reckless and unfortunate,” they said.
