In a developing political story, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua faces imminent threats of impeachment led by ODM MPs, notably Junet Mohamed and Peter Kaluma.

This alarming revelation came from Cleophas Malala, Secretary General of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), during a church service at PEFA Church in Thika on September 22.

Malala cautioned President William Ruto against alienating his deputy, warning, “If you turn against Gachagua, it could lead to your own ouster in the long run.”

The political landscape is becoming increasingly tumultuous, with Gathoni Wamuchomba, the Githunguri MP, echoing these sentiments. “Those eager to see Gachagua fail are the same ones collaborating with ODM to file an impeachment motion next week,” she stated emphatically.

This news follows a tense atmosphere within the government, as Gachagua recently aired his grievances, revealing a strained relationship with Ruto’s allies. In a candid television interview, he remarked, “I feel sidelined and regret opposing Raila Odinga, only to see him reconcile with President Ruto.”

As political factions align, all eyes are on the impending impeachment motion and the potential fallout it may have on the leadership of the nation.

Political observers warn that the rifts within the Kenya Kwanza government could have significant implications for the future, not just for Gachagua, but for President Ruto as well.
