Friday, September 27, 2024 - Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit is disappointed with President William Ruto's plot to impeach his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, having prayed for their victory at Bomas in 2022
Addressing the press in
Nairobi, Sapit called on Ruto and Gachagua to embrace dialogue as the
solution to their fallout and stop the drama.
He noted that the impeachment of
the deputy president was not the solution to the current crisis.
According to Ole Sapit, it was
impossible to dismiss Gachagua since there was no constitutional provision for
such.
Sapit further noted that Ruto
and Gachagua were elected in the same election vote and that it was improper to
impeach one and leave the other.
“Every time there is a
disagreement within the presidency, it makes it dysfunctional. Ours is a call
for dialogue and impeachment is not the solution and we do not have a
constitutional framework for that,” Sapit said.
“As a church, we do not advocate
for impeachment and we call upon the two to sit down the way they did when they
decided to be together.”
Ole Sapit, while reiterating the
church's stand, urged the two leaders to fix the economic challenge in the
country first before embarking on politics.

No need for impeachment. Let Cachagua be given more jobs plus some official travels abroad. Mandela did it to his great political rival Buthelezi, appointing minister for Home Affairs and occasionally appointing him (Buthelezi) to act as president when Mandela was abroad despite having two vice presidents (Mbeki and De Clerk).
