Chaos As Section of Mt Kenya Residents particularly Kagio in Kirinyaga County took to the streets on Wednesday, October 16, to voice their anger over the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The protesters demanded the Senate to dismiss the motion and directed their Senator, James Kamau Murango, to oppose Gachagua’s impeachment.
The demonstrations come amid mounting political tensions, with many in the crowd adamantly supporting Gachagua. Judy Wanjiku, a local resident, expressed the frustrations of many, stating, “We are angry with this motion of impeachment. We are asking the Senate not to impeach Gachagua.”
Joseph Njenga, stated,”We are asking Anne Waiguru to leave Gachagua’s seat alone. Let her wait for 2027, and if Kenyans accept her, then that’s fine,” he asserted.
This twists of events comes after hundreds of women in the county rallied in Kutus town, urging President William Ruto to consider Waiguru for the position should Gachagua be ousted.
“We are praying a lot for Gachagua, but if things go wrong, we have Waiguru. If you look at the qualifications of those showing interest in the position, I do not think there is anyone as qualified as Waiguru,” one leader remarked.
