No impeachment plot against DP Gachagua; Kimani Ichung’wah
Kimani Ichung’wah says there's no impeachment plot against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
Kimani Ichung’wah says there’s no impeachment plot against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has dismissed claims of an impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking in Siaya, Alego Usonga, Ichung’wah stated that no Member of Parliament has attempted to collect signatures for such a motion.
“As the Majority Leader, I can tell Kenyans there has never been any impeachment plans against him (DP),” he stated.
The Majority Leader emphasized that the impeachment motions are a legal and constitutional oversight tool that applies to state officers, including the President and the Deputy President.
“If any member feels the President has gone against the law or the constitution, they are at liberty to bring an impeachment motion and it will be considered on merit,” he said.
Ichung’wah also urged Gachagua to focus on promoting the agenda of the Kenya Kwanza government.

On Friday, Gachagua revealed that he had approached President William Ruto to discuss an alleged impeachment plot against him.
Gachagua stated that the President dismissed it, saying that no one is capable of pushing such an agenda.
The DP further said that no motion of impeachment against a deputy president can sail to Parliament unless the President gives the nod.
“I spoke to him once, and he said that he has not heard about it, he doesn’t know about it and according to him, it is foolish and no one can try something like that because it can destabilise the country, that is what he told me in his own words and thereafter, there was a meeting where he called the MPs, and the matter stepped down,” Gachagua spoke at Citizen TV on Friday.
President Ruto stopped an earlier attempt to remove the Deputy President, asking MPs who were baying for Gachagua’s blood to go slow on the plan.
At that time, the government faced the crisis of Gen Z protests.
