Public Service CS Moses Kuria hints at the impeachment of DP Gachagua amid deepening cracks in the Kenya Kwanza government.
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on Saturday, June 15 shared a cryptic message amid deepening divisions in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government.
CS Kuria indirectly targeted Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who seems to have fallen out with key leaders in the Kenyan Kwanza Alliance.
In his cryptic message, Kuria, who never hides his dislike of the DP, hinted at an impeachment motion being initiated against Gachagua.
“Impeachment loading….,” Kuria said in a tweet. Commenting on Kuria’s tweet, Kenyans suggested that the Public Service CS was targeting the deputy president.
In addition, CS Kuria surfaced an August 2023 video where the Deputy President had mocked him for arriving late at an event convened by the President.
At the time, CS Kuria had been asked by the President to show cause why he had arrived late for the performance signing contract event held at State House, Nairobi.
While CS Kuria did not divulge who would be affected by the impeachment motion, he juxtaposed how political fortunes had turned.
At the time in August 2023, when Kuria was locked out of State House, DP Rigathi Gachagua enjoyed a cordial relationship with the President.

Kuria had complained then that the DP was out to have him kicked out of cabinet alluding that he was behind the move to transfer the former parliamentarian from the Trade Ministry to the Public Service docket.
In the edited clip captioned, ‘Mungu nifunze kunyamaza (God teach me to shut my mouth)’, Kuria contrasted his own experience with Gachagua apologizing to the Head of State for arriving late at Akurinu celebration.
Now, the CS has appeared close to the President while the DP has openly criticized the position taken by President William Ruto’s government including the revenue-sharing formula.
This comes as Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah renewed his onslaught against the deputy president.
During a speech at Gichuru Memorial High School, Ichung’wah claimed Gachagua was trying to rally his Mt. Kenya base to sabotage Ruto Ichung’wah advised Gachagua to focus on his role of supporting Ruto and fulfilling their promises to Kenyans.
He warned that Gachagua’s ambitions would lead to his downfall if he continued to undermine Ruto’s administration.
