Tuesday, September 10, 2024 - Outspoken Nairobi-based lawyer, Ahmednasir Abdullahi, has urged President William Ruto to deal decisely with his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, before he 'destroys' him.
According to Ahmednasir, known in social circles as the 'Grand Mullah,' Gachagua and some Mt Kenya leaders have initiated a rebellion against the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government.
Ahmednasir argued that even though the president cannot fire his
deputy, Ruto should consider using the parliamentary process to impeach the
second in command.
He pointed out that, unlike Uhuru,
Ruto currently has the numerical strength in the parliamentary party enough to
oust Gachagua.
However, Ahmednasir suggests that, given the potential political consequences of impeaching Gachagua, Ruto should consider confronting and dealing decisively with his deputy.
“Unlike Uhuru, Ruto (for the time
being) has the numbers in parliament. Of course, removing Gachagua brings to
the fore many problems for Ruto, but just like Uhuru made mistakes in failing
to confront Ruto head-on and deal with him decisively, Ruto must learn from
history and not make the same mistake,” Ahmednasir stated.
