Friday, January 31, 2025 - Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has revisited the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking during an interview, Owino disclosed that he did not vote to impeach Gachagua because he was innocent as he did not see his mistakes.
“I want to say it clearly. I did not vote to
impeach Rigathi Gachagua. I was told to vote to impeach him. When I heard him
speak, I said I wash my hands like Herod washed his hands in Christ’s
crucifixion.
"Because I said this fight is not mine and the way he (Gachagua) spoke, genuinely speaking I did not see his mistake.
"I am a very just leader and if someone has made a mistake, I will point it out.
First, he did not wrong me and second I did not see his mistake,” Owino
remarked.
He further accused MPs involved in the process
of tribalism, arguing that they too could have been impeached since they had
accused Gachagua of the same.
“He was being accused of tribalism. Tell me who is not tribal among those leaders. They are all tribal. Is that a mistake?
"All
of them were supposed to go including MPs those who are tribal and who were
doing that impeachment,” Owino stated.
At the same time, the lawmaker argued that it
was disrespectful to involve the former deputy president's family in the
process.
Gachagua was impeached by MPs on grounds of
money laundering and gross misconduct among other allegations.
