Why I oppose the impeachment of DP – Lesuuda

Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda has articulated her stance against the impending impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, despite her disapproval of some of his divisive remarks. Lesuuda stated that while she does not condone Gachagua’s comments, she believes they do not warrant impeachment and can be addressed through a reasoned debate or a censure motion.

“I firmly disagree with some of the Deputy President’s remarks, particularly those that appear to create unnecessary divisions in our country. However, I do not believe these comments rise to the level of warranting an impeachment. In my opinion, countering such views through reasoned debate or a censure motion would be more appropriate,” she explained.

Lesuuda referenced past political events, such as the impeachment of former Majority Leader Aden Duale, who was later re-elected and currently serves as a Cabinet Secretary, to illustrate that political positions can evolve. She emphasized that the current rift within the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition is an internal matter that should be resolved within their ranks.

“In my experience of some years now both in life and politics, I have learned the importance of choosing battles wisely. For me as an elected MP under the Azimio coalition, it is my view that Kenya Kwanza chose President Ruto and Deputy President Gachagua as their candidates for the top seats which they went ahead to occupy. However, I am not involved in the internal decisions or political rifts within their camp; frankly, that does not concern me,” Lesuuda stated.

She expressed her commitment to focusing on more pressing issues affecting citizens rather than engaging in the internal disputes of the ruling party. “Once Kenya Kwanza resolves their internal issues, we can all continue serving the country alongside whichever leader will be occupying the office of the Deputy President,” she added.

Her comments come in light of Kibwezi West MP Mutuse Mwengi’s recent motion for the impeachment of Gachagua, which accuses him of corruption, abuse of office, and violations of the Constitution and laws of Kenya.
