Monday, September 30, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has warned President William Ruto and his allies to shelf his planned impeachment, saying his ouster will be overturning the will of the people
For the umpteenth time, Gachagua
indicated that he ascended into office after being elected alongside
President William Ruto on a joint ticket.
Speaking at an MCK All Saints
Church, Kinoru, Meru County, Gachagua made it clear that ejecting him from the
DP’s office without the electorates’ input would violate their sovereignty.
In a rather low and relaxed
tone, Gachagua appealed to those pushing for the purge to respect the will of
the people who entrusted him to serve alongside President William Ruto.
“Let us not fall into the
temptation of overturning the will of the people through other methods because
people will not be happy when you overturn their will,” Gachagua stated.
“Let us agree that the tenets of
democracy say that you respect the will of the people because it is sovereign.”
Gachagua made the sentiments
after receiving a special prayer from Presiding Bishop Mutwiri Nteere.
At the same time, DP Gachagua
appealed to the church to pray for the President and the entire Kenya Kwanza
administration.
The second in
command raised fears that the latest political rhetoric and attacks would
make the ruling party fail to deliver its campaign promises.
He thus pleaded with the
churches to join hands to pray for order to prevail in the country.
“It is my hope that sanity will prevail, we tone down on the politics of division and we work for Kenyans.
"We
were elected two years ago and we have not yet done the work that we promised
to do,” Gachagua stated.
