Wednesday, August 27, 2025 - Jubilee Party Secretary General, Jeremiah Kioni, has cautioned that impeached leaders, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, cannot legitimately mobilise political support, warning that such actions only serve to mislead citizens.
Speaking during an interview with a local TV station on
Wednesday, August 27th, 2025, Kioni underscored the need for robust
civic education, arguing that many Kenyans still lack a clear understanding of
what impeachment entails.
“If we had proper civic education, we would understand what
impeachment means.”
“Once impeached, you cannot start galvanising people behind
you, because you would only be misleading them.”
“The Constitution has already declared you unfit to hold
public office or to lead people in any direction,” Kioni stressed.
He further praised the 2010 Constitution, describing it as a
powerful safeguard against abuse of power by the Executive.
Kioni urged Kenyans to both celebrate and fully understand
the Constitution to make maximum use of its provisions.
“If it weren’t for the 2010 Constitution, with the kind of
Executive we have today, we would be worse off than we are now,” he said.
Kioni’s remarks were widely interpreted as targeting
Gachagua, who, despite being impeached, continues to rally support ahead of the
2027 elections and has branded himself the Mt. Kenya political kingpin.
Meanwhile, Jubilee has endorsed former Interior CS Fred
Matiang’i as its presidential flagbearer to challenge President William Ruto in
2027.

What of those indicted by the ICC? We saw two of them mobilize people and eventually got elected. Tell us about them and the law. We know your agenda bwana Kioni. Try and mobilize the people as well and teach them civics
