Staff working at Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s office at Harambee Annex have reportedly been sent on compulsory leave, following his impeachment by the Senate on Thursday. According to Former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria, 80% percent of staff at Gachagua’s office were from his Mathira backyard.
”80% of the staff working in the Office of the Deputy President were from Mathira Constituency. Tonight they have all been sent on compulsory leave, ” Kuria tweeted. He further revealed that nominated Deputy President Kithure Kindiki will be sworn in at Uhuru Gardens from 9 AM to avoid a constitution crisis.
Kuria said there are no cards required to gain entrance. However, the gates will be closed once the swearing-in arena is full.
”The swearing-in will take place tomorrow at Uhuru Gardens from 9am. No cards required. Gates will be closed once the swearing-in arena is full. We can not afford a Constitutional crisis,” he tweeted.
”We can not be another Sudan with 2 Presidents. For the sake of our nation and our families we will swear in Kithure Kindiki as President in Waiting. Courts can deposit their ruling in the pigeon holes. Karibuni Uhuru Gardens 9am,” he added.
