Inside plot to jail DP Gachagua; Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang'wa

Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang'wa now claims there's a plot to jail Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua

Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang’wa now claims there’s a plot to jail Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang’wa has poked holes into the recent wave of Mt Kenya MPs declaring their allegiance to Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, claiming that it’s a plot to sideline Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from the political arena. 

Speaking at Our Lady of Sorrows Baricho Catholic Parish in Ndia, Kirinyaga County, the senator suspected that the MPs sought to impeach the DP from office and impose charges on him so as to divide positions amongst themselves. 

Thang’wa defended the DP, reaffirming that Gachagua would remain as the political voice of the mountain. 

“It is their plan to unite, bring an impeachment motion, remove him from office, jail him and give positions to other people,” the senator explained.

“Let me tell them, we are the ones who voted for Gachagua as the mountain and we will not allow anyone to touch him,” he added.

The senator cautioned CS Kindiki to be careful when receiving such support, referencing how Mt Kenya MPs recently backed Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro as the kingpin and ultimately left him in the cold. 

“Those people who are backing you right now, they did so with Ndindi Nyoro. They raised him on a pedestal and took him round the country only to leave him falling. He is still picking himself up and dusting himself off.

They will also lift you up and praise you and in the end, you’ll be the one left apologising to people,” Thang’wa said. 

“When you see parliamentarians who are given an opportunity to serve, uniting to say that if we want to speak to the president it will be through this person, that’s an abdication of duty, lack of responsibility and a vote of no confidence to the people that lead them,” he added.

The development comes as suspicions over the DP Gachagua’s grip in the mountain continue to loom following the declaration of over 69 MPs to choose CS Kindiki as their link to the executive. 

The first wave saw 21 MPs from the Mt Kenya East region endorse Kindiki as their centralised leader. Some 48 Mt Kenya MPs followed suit, coining their move as the ‘Nyandarua declaration.’

The MPs cited the lack of development and stalled projects in the region and saw the need for a centralised leader who would lobby for resources for the region.
