Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has finally come out to speak about his alleged impeachment from his position.
Speaking on Friday morning when he visited Wakulima Market in Nairobi to meet the traders, Rigathi fired warning shots at Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, President William Ruto and his allies planning to impeach DP Rigathi Gachagua.
In an indirect attack on his boss Ruto, Gachagua said elected leaders should not forget those who voted or him since he will need them back in 2027.
He warned saying those who are planning to impeach him will not succeed, adding that it is only Kenyans who elected him have the powers to impeach him
“Mimi Rigathi nilichaguliwa na wakenya na ni hao wataniondoa wakati ukifika. Mkitaka kupiga Rigathi msiende hoteli, kujeni hapa Mirikiti kwa wanainchi. Tuliunga Ruto kwa hiari yetu, hawa watu wanapanga haya maneno msinijaribu. Watu wanataka waheshimiwe na kiongozi wao waheshimiwe pia. Hawa watu ndio walipigia Rigathi Gachagua kura Nyinyi mtakubali niuziwe uoga? Mimi sitakubali kuuziwa uoga na mtu yeyote. Hapa gavana ya Nairobi tutajipanga hakuna siku tutapeana kura bila mpango hapa
His remarks were supported by his allies who launched direct attacks on Ruto, warning against his plans to divide Mt Kenya region into two. MP James Gakuya warned that Ruto should not keep quiet and watch as his allies attacked Gachagua, claiming that Ruto was their master and had sent them to sabotage Gachagua.
“Kwani Kimani Ichungwa ako rika moja na Riggy G? Mnakubali Kimani atukane rais akiwa na Rais mwenyewe na rais hawezi kumuonya hasitukane? mnakubali Kimani Ichungwa ni project ya Ruto? hiyo project yao haiwezi ika mahali. Ameanza kugawanya mulima mara mbili na huyo ni adui wetu. Kindiki ako busy akinunua MCAs na nataka kumuambia hiyo pesa anatumia wamepora kwa serikali, tumewajua nyinyi ni akina nani. Kama Ruto anafikiria kutubadilishia Rigathi asahau hiyo barabara, kama hataki mlima awachane na sisi, atatukoma…wewe umetukera ana na tunaona unatupeleka kwa shimo,. Tumekataa kugawanya mlima,,” warned MP James Gakuya.
“Mtu yeyote anataka support ya hawa wanainchi wajunge wasilahi yao na awaongeleshe kwa upole sio na kiburi. Kwa nini wewe Ruto unkubali kutuma vijana kumpiga Riggy G? Mlikubaliana siku ya kura ukasema hutakubali Deputy wako atezwe tena what happened?” posed one o the MCAs who had accompanied Rigathi.
