Kikuyu Mp and Leader of Majority Party in National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah has denied reports there is an impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Speaking over the weekend, Ichung’wah termed the reports as the creation of Gachagua to seek sympathy and gain political mileage.

“As the leader of majority, I can tell you there has never been an impeachment motion against the deputy president. That has been his creation and those that he walks around with. It is a sympathy-seeking gimmick to try and incite the people from the Mt Kenya region and moreso against the members of parliament,” Ichung’wa stated.

Ichung’wah has also accused Gachagua of creating a threat by insinuating that an impeachment against him would cause instability in the country.

“The kind of political instability (is like the one) they instigated on 25th June 2024. That is the veil threat he (Gachagua) intended to pass to the people of Kenya that he will cause a political instability should there be an impeachment motion,” Ichung’wah warned.

Gachagua on his impeachment

Speaking on Sunday, September 22, 2024, DP Gachagua cautioned Ruto against betraying the people from the Kenya region.

The second in command who attended a church Service in Kiambu County, warned Ruto against allowing an impeachment motion to be tabled in the National Assembly indicating that it would have grave ramifications.

“Our people hate betrayal and are unforgiving if you betray them. I ask my brother President William Ruto not be tempted to go that direction because these people will be very unforgiving.

“When there was an attempt to betray him, the people of this region said no, we don’t like betrayal… we don’t entertain betrayal and for that reason, the people of this region stood with him to a man to express their displeasure at betrayal,” Gachagua cautioned the president.

“If the the people of this region feel betrayed as they will if go in that direction, these people will be very unforgiving. That is just my advice it doesn’t have to be taken, I have been around for a long time and I know a few things about people from the Mt Kenya region,” he added.

However, Gachagua observed that President William Ruto has enough time to salvage his relationship with the Mt Kenya people.

He pleaded with him to call his house to order and allow the administration to deliver its mandate and honour their campaign pledges.
