Saturday, June 22, 2024 – Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Azimio has pledged to support and defend Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua against impeachment threats.
This follows an alleged plot to
impeach Gachagua by President William Ruto and his allies over his one-man, one-shilling campaign for the benefit of Mt. Kenya which they claim is divisive and
tribal.
Speaking in Kiambu during the
consecration of Reverend Benson as Bishop, Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka
affirmed that Azimio was prepared to stand by Gachagua despite the looming
impeachment.
Kalonzo emphasized that Gachagua
had not committed any wrongdoing warranting impeachment. He further criticized
President William Ruto, accusing him of undermining his deputy's position.
"If they try to impeach
Gachagua, as Azimio we will refuse. But we can impeach both Ruto and
Gachagua," Kalonzo stated.
He also commended the deputy
president for being courageous by standing his ground despite resistance and
urged him to continue fighting for the people of Kenya.
"I admire the courage of the
Deputy President, now welcome to the club of courageous people and I call on
you to exercise courage for the sake of Kenyans," the Wiper party leader
commented.
The former Vice president defended DP Gachagua over claims of being termed a villager and called
on him not to fall for such comments.
While responding to Kalonzo, the
Deputy President called on the Azimio leader to adopt his call for regional
unity, saying it was the only way to unite Kenyans.
Gachagua said he would not relent on his calls for unity in the Mt. Kenya region despite
constant criticism.
