Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is going under growing pressure as impeachment talks gain momentum. Gachagua is in the Senate along with his legal team responding to the impeachment charges filed against him. Among the key figures present in the Senate is Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, the mover of the impeachment motion, whose stance on the impeachment case has come to be a crucial point of the discussions.
Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse has finally revealed the owner of the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. During the Senate proceedings, Mutuse was asked by Makueni Senator Enoch Wambua to make clear whether he truly sponsored the motion or he was just a vessel of destruction regarding ousting Gachagua from office.
In response, the vocal lawmaker confirmed that he is the one behind the motion against the DP, emphasizing his legislative role in presenting the motion, a statement that has since sparked combined reactions across the country. The controversial motion has thrown the Kenya Kwanza government into political turbulence with leaders taking sides in support or opposition to removing Gachagua as the second in command.
The unfolding activities have intensified political tensions, leaving the general public waiting for the Senate’s final decision on Gachagua’s political future.
While Mutuse has come forward to take responsibility for being the mastermind of the motion, doubts however linger about his full involvement as he struggled to answer some crucial questions raised during the Senate proceedings.
Kenyans on social media responded with mixed reactions following Mutuse’s admission of being the owner of the motion. Several users expressed doubts about whether he initiated the motion arguing that external forces were involved.
Some noted how his responses to the questions he was asked were vague, suggesting the possibility of involvement of other political players. Here are some of the comments from Kenyans on social media:
