Monday, October 28, 2024 – President William Ruto’s allies have continued to pile pressure on impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to give up the fight and step aside to allow Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki to be sworn in as the new Deputy President.
While addressing mourners at the
funeral of Tharaka MP Gitonga Murugara’s mother, National Assembly Majority
Leader Kimani Ichung’wah said they no longer recognize Gachagua as the Deputy
President but Kithure Kindiki.
He told Tharaka Nithi residents
that he is confident their former senator will be sworn in soon.
“I am confident that even those
who serve us in the country within the Judiciary will do what is right for
Kenya.”
“I am confident in due course we
shall be swearing in our Deputy President, the desire of the people of Kenya to
be able to move on together as one united country.”
“A deputy president who will
serve all the people of Kenya not just the people of Tharaka Nithi or the
mountain region.”
“Your former senator who has
been our Interior Cabinet Secretary and is now our Deputy President of
Kenya, Professor Kithure Kindiki is not just a friend, he is my brother,”
Ichung’wah said.
He criticized Gachagua over his
utterances perceived to be too pro-Mt Kenya and assured Kenyans that the region
was intact and Kenya was ready to move on once Kindiki is sworn in.
