Wednesday, October 2, 2024 – President William Ruto may be forced to go into hiding for security reasons.
This is after MPs raised serious
concerns about the President’s safety and security after tabling a motion to
impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in Parliament yesterday.
Speaking after Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse tabled the impeachment motion, Majority Leader and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah warned that the decision posed significant security risks to MPs and President Ruto.
He emphasized that Gachagua is no ordinary man, describing him as "a black man with a black heart."
They thus called on Speaker
Moses Wetangula to direct the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to
ensure adequate security for themselves and the president.
“Just to add on to what
Honourable Farah Maalim and Junet Mohamed have said, Honourable Speaker, the
security of MPs is paramount,” Ichung'wah stated.
According to the MP, should
anything happen to the president or any lawmaker, then the Inspector General of
Police would be held accountable.
“Should anything happen to the
president, I want to beg that you take with much weight the issues raised by
Junet and Maalim.”
“For members of this house, all
the 349 of them, you must direct the Police IG to ensure that when this house
is sitting and even outside, members are secure," Ichung'wah said.
While reiterating the matter,
Ichung’wah alleged an elaborate scheme by unknown individuals to cause harm to
lawmakers who backed Gachagua's impeachment motion.
The majority leader further
cautioned MPs against discussing the contentious motion in public
forums including during media interviews.

So, is this a tongue-in-cheek, MP Ichungwah?
