Thursday, January 9, 2025 – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is the architect of his own miseries even as he moves around blaming others for his impeachment.
This was revealed by President
William Ruto's senior economic adviser, Moses Kuria, who opened up about what
really led to Gachagua’s impeachment from the government.
Speaking during an
interview, Kuria detailed his friendship with the former Deputy President
and his late brother, Nderitu Gachagua, recalling how he was on good terms with
the duo.
According to Kuria, things took
a turn when Gachagua allegedly reneged on the promises he made as part of the
Kenya Kwanza administration during the campaign period.
“Rigathi Gachagua is my friend.
We served together; I was his boss in the Transport Committee in Parliament,
where I was the Vice Chair because I was his senior.”
“His late brother was my friend.
We campaigned together; we were on that truck together around the country
campaigning for the Kenya Kwanza government,” Kuria narrated.
While insisting he had little to
do with Gachagua's impeachment, Kuria claimed Gachagua's hunger for power and
divisive politics left Ruto with no choice but to have him impeached.
Kuria is adamant that Gachagua
was a divisive character who damaged the Mount Kenya bloc's reputation.
“I’m not a Member of Parliament
anymore. Even when I was a minister, my impeaching authority was Parliament.
So, when somebody goes out there and says, ‘By December, all of you will be
dead men and women walking,’ is that very wise?" Kuria wondered.
Since Gachagua's impeachment, he has continued to be a thorn in President Ruto's regime, consistently criticizing
the government on various issues.
