Kimani Ngunjiri slams Gachagua, says he is reeling from impeachment ordeal
By Mabonga Makhanu, September 30, 2025Former Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri has stated that the conduct of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua stems from the toll on his mental health caused by his impeachment ordeal.
Speaking during an interview on a radio station on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, Ngunjiri suggested that the former Deputy President should undergo a mental health check-up, arguing that his recent conduct and statements indicate he may not be okay.
“He should be taken to a hospital and checked if he has a problem; maybe the impeachment might have affected him,” Ngunjiri stated.
Ngunjiri, who has in recent weeks sustained an onslaught against Gachagua despite once being his close ally, accused him of being greedy and egocentric, focused only on his personal interests.
He further argued that at a time when leaders should be sensitising the country on voter registration, the former DP is instead focusing on issues he considers nonessential.
According to Ngunjiri, the priority should be encouraging Kenyans, particularly the youth, to register as voters, reminding them that change is achieved not through violence but through participation in the electoral process.
“We can talk but talk about things that are very important to build this country. Today we should be talking about the IEBC pushing people to register as voters, telling young people the change is not violence but registering as voters.”
Ngunjiri slamming Gachagua on Satan’s remarks
These come a week after the former legislator slammed Gachagua for comparing President William Ruto to a devil.
While speaking on his Facebook page on Wednesday, September 25, 2025, Ngunjiri expressed his fury at Gachagua, stating that even if he has personal issues with the president, it does not warrant him to refer to the head of state as Satan.
“I saw Gachagua releasing a statement during an interview. I don’t hate Gachagua; I hate the sentiments that he makes. During the interview, he was questioned why he invokes Ruto’s name multiple times.”
“He responded that since he began attending church when he was young, he found the church condemning Satan, and so he must condemn Ruto. So I wondered, is Ruto a Satan? Even if you hate someone, can you refer to him as Satan?” posed Ngunjiri.
