Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka announced that the Azimio la Umoja coalition will oppose any motion to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Recently, Gachagua has faced criticism from MPs aligned with President William Ruto, including calls for his impeachment.
Despite this pressure, Kalonzo expressed support for Gachagua’s resilience and indicated that Azimio is prepared to defend him against any impeachment attempt. Additionally, he suggested that Azimio may initiate an impeachment motion against both President Ruto and Deputy President Gachagua in the interest of the Kenyan public.
“This is my first time sitting next to Rigathi. I admire your ability to fight. To those dishonourable MPs, I say this: if you try to bring an impeachment motion against Rigathi, Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leadership and honourable members will vote no! As Azimio and on behalf of the Kenyan people, we will bring an impeachment motion against William Ruto and Rigathi,” Kalonzo stated on X account.
Gachagua has been actively promoting unity within the Mount Kenya region and remains steadfast despite resistance from supporters of President Ruto within the government. At a significant gathering in Karatina on June 15, 2024, Gachagua expressed frustration over the lack of respect he has encountered from government officials opposing his agenda.
He emphasized that his commitment to uniting his community has led to disrespect from those in positions of influence who are closely aligned with the president.
