Take the DP position elsewhere after Gachagua; Former Mt Kenya MP fires at Ruto

Former Mt Kenya politician Kimani Ngunjiri asks Ruto to take DP seat elsewhere after Gachagua.
Gachagua ally and former Bahati member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri has fired shots at President William Ruto asking him not to appoint a deputy president from Central to spare the region further political polarisation.
Appearing on K24 TV on Monday morning, the veteran politician hailing from Nakuru observed that the ongoing impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has put the country in an awkward position.
“My prayer is to let people come together. I urge President Ruto that for the seat of the deputy president, because it looks like it is the source of problems in the Central region if you succeed to remove Gachagua, don’t give Central that seat again,” he advised.
The politician further explained that the country is in deep economic trouble and at the moment, Kenyans should be focused on discussing a way forward for the nation.
“We have left all other things to talk about the impeachment. Look at the serious national issues like that of the airport and Social Health Authority (SHA),” he pointed out.
Ngunjiri also accused the government of trying to cover up key issues that are going wrong in the country with the impeachment motion of DP Gachagua.
“Instead of talking of one person, we should be discussing serious national matters affecting our country,“ he added.

The former United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party member further faulted the ruling government citing that it has failed Kenyans, especially the young people.
“We are taking our people to other countries for employment instead of creating opportunities for them here,” he lamented.
He noted that the government’s pretense of creating employment under government projects while pushing for the same youths to seek jobs abroad is misguided.
His sentiments came as the deputy president is expected to appear before the National Assembly to defend himself over the impeachment tabled against him.
Gachagua was accused of eleven allegations among them a violation of the Constitution, gross misconduct, and violation of economic and international laws.
