A political storm is brewing within Kenya Kwanza as allegations of a planned impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua emerge. Githunguri MP Gathoni Wambuchomba has vehemently dismissed the move as a distraction tactic aimed at deflecting public attention from the government’s shortcomings.
Political strategy?
Wambuchomba claims the impeachment plot is a ploy to divert focus from the mounting criticism over corruption and inefficiency. She accused unnamed Mt Kenya leaders of orchestrating the move, asserting that it would ultimately fail.
The MP also revealed plans to dewhip some MPs who opposed the controversial Finance Bill, suggesting a potential power struggle within the ruling coalition. She vowed to defend voters against “punitive taxes” and accused certain lawmakers of prioritizing personal gain over public interest.
