The argument over the planned ousting of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has continued, with a faction of Rift Valley parliamentarians expressing determination to carry it through.
The leaders who spoke in Kericho at the funeral of ex-KEMRI boss Davy Koech claimed that the impeachment process is “unstoppable”.
Kipkelion West MP Hillary Kosgei acknowledged the importance of Mt Kenya’s people but pushed on leadership change.
He said they are only keen on finding someone else to replace Gachagua.
“The people of Mt Kenya are good people. The only thing that we want is to remove him and replace him with another leader from the region,” Kosgei said.
Belgut MP Nelson Koech echoed the sentiment saying the revelations by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki regarding the people involved in the Gen Z protests was enough cause to send him home.
“Because he sharpened his knife to take us home, we have also sharpened ours,” he said.
Kindiki on Thursday said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has evidence showing high-profile individuals allied to Gachagua facilitated Gen Z protests.
Gachagua however expressed reservation over the move by the DCI to propose charges against MPs allied to him and his aides, terming it political.
