Analyse DP Gachagua impeachment case keenly; Bishop Ole Sapit to the Senate
Bishop Jackson Ole Sapit of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) on Sunday advised the Senate to tread with caution over the plot to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
Bishop Jackson Ole Sapit of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) on Sunday advised the Senate to tread with caution over the plot to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking at the retirement service held to honour Bishop David Mutisya at ACK St. Peters Pro-Cathedral in Garissa County, Ole Sapit called on elected Senators to carefully interrogate if the impeachment motion before them was based on merit.
“The (Senate) has been given a mandate as the upper house to hear and determine the impeachment case in a way of creating checks and balances after Parliament voted on the motion. They should look into the case carefully,” Bishop Ole Sapit appealed to the Senate.
At the same time, Bishop Ole Sapit has rooted for public leaders to undertake audits like the one Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was subjected to.
“Why don’t we find a way to conduct audits on every elected leader, the way Gachagua was forced to undergo so that we can know those who have taken public funds and abused their positions, so that we can promote responsibility to all of us,” he stated.
According to the vicar, the audit will help Kenyans know how their leaders acquired wealth thus promoting transparency in the society while at the same time exposing corrupt leaders.
He held the view, that elected leaders should champion fairness and justice in their leadership to improve the lives of the people.

At the retirement ceremony, Bishop Ole Sapit noted that there is a huge trust deficit at all leadership in the country which derails service delivery and impedes justice.
“We are living at interesting times, no leader or very few leaders in our dispensation today both at national, county and church can be able to invite people and publicly ask them to testify what they have done for we have had a deficit of being trustworthy,” he posited.
“We are very eager to point fingers at others while we are equally guilty as charged for greed has taken over.”
He condemned greed as a vice that robs the people of their rightful share of the country’s cake. On the contrary, he said politicians are in haste to accumulate wealth illegally saying, “What we are seeing around us is a spirit of amassing wealth at the expense of others.”
Ole Sapit challenged leaders to do a personal accountability test and live with dignity adding that peace and love are the only way out.
“If indeed we have the spirit we will not project ourselves in the way the politicians of our day do,” he cautioned adding Kenyans should deal respectfully with one another.
