Tensions are rising in Kenya as reports emerge of an impending impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
This comes after Gachagua made headlines with pointed remarks regarding his relationship with President William Ruto.
Acknowledging a rift between them, Gachagua cautioned against a return to “politics of betrayal,” stressing the urgent need for the government to focus on fulfilling the promises made by the Kenya Kwanza coalition during their five-year term.
On Sunday, Gachagua attended a service at PEFA Church in Thika, accompanied by a group of supporters.
During this gathering, he delivered a scathing critique of Ruto, urging the president to address internal party conflicts to avoid unnecessary divisions within the country.
Gachagua’s comments highlight the growing frustration among his allies, who feel that recent actions by certain individuals could destabilize the coalition and jeopardize its agenda.
Gachagua emphasized that the people of Mt. Kenya have a long-standing history of being unforgiving towards perceived betrayals.
He warned Ruto that failing to maintain the trust of this crucial voting bloc could have severe consequences.
“Once lost, trust is hard to regain,” Gachagua remarked, underscoring the delicate political landscape they navigate.
The tension comes at a time when the Kenya Kwanza administration faces increasing scrutiny over its ability to deliver on its promises.
With divisions emerging at the top levels of government, the stakes are high for both Gachagua and Ruto.
As the deputy president navigates these challenges, his focus remains on rallying support from the Mt. Kenya region, which plays a pivotal role in the coalition’s future.
The unfolding drama raises questions about the stability of the administration and the potential ramifications for governance in Kenya.
With both sides at a crossroads, the coming days are critical for the future of the Kenya Kwanza alliance.
