Monday, October 7, 2024 - Budding Nairobi-based lawyer, Steve Ogolla, has opined that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's plea for forgiveness from his boss President William Ruto can be treated as an admission of guilt.
On Sunday, Gachagua appealed to Ruto, MPs, and Kenyans at
large to forgive him for his wrongdoings.
"I want to say to my brother President William Ruto if, in our zeal to work, I have wronged you, please find it in your heart to forgive me.
"If my spouse, in her duties with the boychild, has wronged you in
any way, please find it in your heart to forgive her," Gachagua pleaded.
According to lawyer Ogola, Gachagua stands guilty of the
accusations laid against him, hence his plea for pardon.
“If he is apologizing in the context of those pending
charges against him. We must take that apology for what it means, it is an
admission of guilt,” says the lawyer.
Meanwhile, DP Gachagua has assembled a battery of 20
advocates led by senior counsel Paul Muite to defend him both in parliament and
at the courts beginning next week when the House will consider his impeachment
motion.
