UDA, ODM MPs hold secret night meeting over DP Gachagua impeachment
50 MPs from UDA, ODM and Wiper hold secret night meeting to save DP Gachagua from impeachment
50 MPs from UDA, ODM and Wiper hold secret night meeting to save DP Gachagua from impeachment.
Members of Parliament allied with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have alleged a renewed plan by a section of the Keny Kwanza lawmakers to oust the DP.
Sources privy to the information told NTV that the Kenya Kwanza leadership in the National Assembly had already received an impeachment motion against the second in command.
According to the reports, the impeachment motion against the deputy president could be tabled before Parliament as early as next week.
Nonetheless, the reports further suggest that over fifty lawmakers from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Wiper Party, and Independent parties met on Monday night in a bid to stop Gachagua’s ouster.
During the night meeting, the MPs vowed to protect the deputy president from the looming impeachment at all costs.
While commenting on the matter, Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba claimed that the power to impeach the deputy president was with the electorate.
“Gachagua can only be impeached by the electorate. It is the Kenyan people who have the authority of giving individual power and even withdrawing the power from them,” Gathoni noted.
The alleged plan to impeach the deputy president comes hardly a week after more than 48 legislators from the Mt Kenya region expressed their support for Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki.

While addressing the press on September 12, the MPs accused Rigathi Gachagua of instigating division within Mt Kenya which the lawmakers claimed hampered the region’s development.
The caucus further declared Kindiki as their link to President William Ruto, particularly on development matters.
“Given the prevailing state of affairs and the urgency of the mission ahead, there is a need to have a link that will create a nexus between us and the National Executive on matters of development,” the MPs stated in a joint statement.
“We unanimously resolve that our link to the National Government be the Cabinet Secretary for the Interior and National Administration Prof. Kithure Kindiki, whose responsibilities include the coordination of National Government functions across the country.”
