Sunday, September 22, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is not bothered by President William Ruto and his allies' political machinations to impeach him.
Speaking during an interview, Gachagua said he
was prepared for the realities post his removal from office, should it succeed.
Gachagua said it was not in his place to block
such attempts and that he was not keen on bribing or pressuring the lawmakers
to give up the plot.
Gachagua observed that if the impeachment
reaches the floor of the National Assembly, then Ruto will have endorsed it.
He said such issues are canvassed in forums
presided over by the president, suggesting that the president could be involved
in the impeachment plot.
"The truth of the matter is that the way
we work as UDA, any motion of impeachment against the deputy president would
never find its way to the House unless the president approves.”
“Any contentious issue that goes to the
National Assembly, the president will call a PG meeting and direct the MPs to
prosecute it," he said.
Should he be impeached, Gachagua said he would
retire to his private life, as he had been out of politics for many years until
seven years ago.
He suggested that he was enjoying his life away
from the public eye until he was elected Mathira MP in 2017.
