Gachagua Supporters Start Process to Remove MP Who Backed His Impeachment
Mathira Constituency residents on Wednesday, November 13, started collecting signatures to launch the process of removing their area Member of Parliament Eric Wamumbi for voting in favour of the recent impeachment motion against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The exercise started in Karatina town, where residents came out carrying their identification cards to sign petitions to recall their MP.
This move comes in response to Wamumbi’s involvement in the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The residents of Mathira, which is Gachagua’s backyard, showed dissatisfaction after the MP supported Gachagua’s impeachment, stating they were ready to proceed with the recall once the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is fully reconstituted.
The angry residents pointed a finger of blame to their MP accusing him of denouncing one of their own and voting against their wish.
“As residents, we have resolved to start collecting signatures to recall Wamumbi because he has not initiated any meaningful development and betrayed our son, Gachagua, by leading the push for his impeachment, which we opposed,” one resident asserted.
