I was told to vote to impeach Gachagua but I did not; Babu Owino
Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has disclosed that he did not vote to impeach former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua because hid not see his mistakes
Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has disclosed that he did not vote to impeach former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua because hid not see his mistakes.
Speaking in an interview on Thursday, January 30, Owino claimed that he is a just a leader and if someone had made a mistake, he points it out.
“I want to say it clearly. I did not vote to impeach Rigathi Gachagua. I was told to vote to impeach him. When I heard him speak, I said I wash my hands like Herod washed his hands in Christ’s crucifixion.
“Because I said this fight is not mine and the way he (Gachagua) spoke, genuinely speaking I did not see his mistake. I am a very just leader and if someone has made a mistake, I will point it out. First, he did not wrong me and second I did not see his mistake,” Owino remarked.
He further accused Members of Parliament involved in the process of tribalism, arguing that they too could have been impeached since they had accused Gachagua of the same.

“He was being accused of tribalism. Tell me who is not tribal among those leaders. They all tribal. Is that a mistake? All of them were supposed to go including MPs those who are tribal and who were doing that impeachment,” Owino stated.
At the same time, the lawmaker argued that it was disrespectful to involve the former deputy president’s family in the process.
On Tuesday, October 8, 2024, Gachagua was impeached by the National Assembly on grounds of money laundering and gross misconduct among other allegations.
The motion was supported by 281 members before the Senate later upheld the impeachment.
