Friday, October 4, 2024 – President William Ruto’s nefarious plot to impeach his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, has taken a new twist.
This comes after several MPs from Nyeri, who initially backed Ruto's plans and supported the impeachment motion against Gachagua, have changed their stance and withdrawn their support for the ouster attempt.
During a press conference yesterday, Tetu MP Geoffrey Wandeto, Kieni MP Njoroge Wainaina, Nyeri Woman Representative Rahab Mukami, and Embu Woman Representative Pamela Njoki announced that they had a change of heart after consulting their constituents.
They expressed their intention to vote in favor of saving the Deputy President when the matter comes to a vote.
The MPs claimed that their
initial decision to support the ouster attempt was not based on facts which led
them to make a rushed decision.
They affirmed that they had not
read the charges and understood them well enough.
As such, the MPs claimed that
after immersing themselves in a period of soul-searching and listening to the
ground, they had made the firm decision to shoot down the motion despite
supporting it during its initial reading.
Wandeto revealed that residents of Nyeri are against the impeachment.
As a representative of the people, he
claimed that he had chosen to listen to the bloc that elected him.
The leaders who appended their
signatures to the motion when Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse presented it in
Parliament on Tuesday, now say that the best course of action is for Gachagua
and Ruto to sit down, resolve their issues, and focus on development.
