Tuesday, October 8, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of betraying him by initiating an impeachment motion against him.
Speaking yesterday ahead of his
impeachment today, Gachagua claimed that a decision had been made that he was
no longer useful to the Kenya Kwanza administration.
He noted that Ruto only used him
to fight former President Uhuru Kenyatta to defeat the Azimio la Umoja One
Kenya Coalition Party in the 2022 polls and now wants to get rid of him because
he is no longer useful.
"I'm being haunted on
nonsensical allegations simply because a decision has been made that Gachagua
is no longer useful to this administration. I am now seen as a spent
cartridge.”
“My role was to help fight Uhuru Kenyatta and bring Ruto to power but now that mission is over.
"They want to
discard me and appoint someone else, disregarding the will of Kenyans. This is
what we call political deceit, conmanship, and betrayal," Gachagua said.
While defending himself against
all the allegations, Gachagua claimed the push to impeach him was based on
propaganda and other hidden political considerations.
"It is very important that
the people who elected me as DP get my response of the very outrageous
accusations against their DP that have no basis, which is sheer propaganda,
that is a scheme to hound me out of office because of other political
considerations and has nothing to do with the violation of the
Constitution," the DP added.
