We’ll impeach you; ODM MP warns DP Gachagua

ODM MP Caleb Amisi warns DP Gachagua of impeachment if he continues with tribal narrative.
Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has warned Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of engaging in divisive tribal politics.
The MP took to his X account on Monday, August 26, 2024, to voice his concerns, suggesting that Gachagua’s actions could lead to his impeachment.
The ODM MP highlighted the evolving political landscape in the central region, where he believes voters are no longer focused on electing leaders based solely on tribal affiliations.
He emphasized that the Kikuyu community, which has historically held significant influence in Kenyan politics, is now more interested in supporting a president who will serve their interests, regardless of their ethnic background.
“Our DP, @rigathi, should realize that Kikuyus no longer care whether one of their own is a president. They have had many at the top. They only care for a good president who can take care of their interests. In 2027, the central region is ready and willing to support other communities for the presidency, even if it is not #Ruto. But definitely, it shall not be Gachagua,” Amisi stated.
The Saboti MP further condemned the Deputy President’s approach, labeling it as backward and out of touch with the aspirations of the new generation.
According to Amisi, young Kenyans are increasingly rejecting tribal politics, seeing it as a hindrance to the country’s progress.
“Tribal politics is backward, and the new generation will never accept it from now henceforth. It adds no value to the progress of this nation. If you continue this tribal narrative, members will have no choice but to impeach you,” Amisi warned.
The Deputy President has been involved in several controversies concerning tribal politics, which have led to public calls for him to cease engaging in such divisive rhetoric.

Various political leaders and civil society organizations urged him to focus on the interests of all Kenyans, rather than advancing the agenda of a single ethnic group.
In June 2024, Gachagua addressed criticisms labeling him a tribalist due to his advocacy for the “one man, one vote, one shilling” revenue-sharing formula.
Gachagua emphasized that his stance on the formula is merely his personal opinion and not something he intends to impose on the Kenyan public.
“As a Kenyan citizen, the Constitution grants me the right to express my views, even as Deputy President. My opinion is not a directive, and I only seek to persuade others that this formula could be effective,” he explained.
Gachagua also acknowledged that other leaders hold differing views on the matter, which he respects as their constitutional right.
