Tuesday, October 1, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has stated that MPs will fail in their attempt to impeach him, arguing that they have not conducted public participation as required by the Constitution.
In an interview with Mt Kenya
East radio stations on Sunday, Gachagua said kicking him out of the Kenya
Kwanza administration would not be a walk in the park like lawmakers want it to
appear.
Mr. Gachagua said from the
meetings he had held over the past week, the people in the Mt Kenya region are
not interested in seeing him out of the government.
He said public participation is
enshrined in the Constitution before such a matter as impeachment is decided,
adding that “it not done just like that. We must follow the law and the
Constitution is clear where the Parliament cannot be left alone to handle such
a serious matter…”
“I am waiting to see how they will conduct the public participation after the motion is tabled because that is a requirement.
"Let the MPs go to the people and ask them whether impeaching
Gachagua is the right thing to do when we have a lot of work to do,” the DP
said.
“I have toured the Mt Kenya region and my people on the ground have told me I should not get shaken, and assured me that when their MPs come to ask them whether they should impeach me, they will tell them off.
"The job I hold was given to me by the people of Kenya
and just 200 people cannot overturn the will of the people,” he added.
