Azimio la Umoja coalition to initiate a probe on DP Gachagua’s conduct in the parliament over his remarks.
The opposition has been enraged enough to launch an investigation into the deputy president’s behavior after comments he made about the government being a corporation of shares to loyalists.
Speaking on Thursday, February 23, at Radio Citizen, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna revealed that a motion had been brought forward by the coalition to discuss Gachagua’s conduct in light of his controversial remarks.
“As Azimio, we have set up a motion to discuss his conduct because of his utterances which we see are causing division in the country to make it seem like there are those who are more important than others,” he stated.
In his submissions, Sifuna outlined that all Kenyans were equal irrespective of their political views.
“We have taken a stand that Kenya is for all of us whether you voted for Ruto or Raila Odinga because this is our motherland and we are paying taxes just like anybody else,” he added.
On the contention in the Senate about the Minority leadership, Sifuna added that it was imperative for the Senate Speaker to allow Azimio to make their desired changes as the delay was hindering their agenda.
“Being a leader on either side of the divide is key because you are the one expected to enforce the agendas of your party. You cannot be the leader of a team that you do not agree with their ideologies,” he argued.

Sifuna made this remark in relation to the Azimio Coalition’s move to de-whip Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo from her position as the Minority Whip.
“We have written to the Speaker that we do not recognize Fatuma Dullo as our leader in the house.
He wondered how after denouncing the coalition, she would still stick to a team that did not agree with their ideologies.
Dullo, however, got a reprieve after the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal revoked the changes preventing Azimio from effecting the changes.
