Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has publicly responded to accusations against his close associates. They are facing potential criminal charges linked to anti-government protests. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has recommended charges against five individuals.

These include two Members of Parliament. They are charged for their alleged roles in the protests that occurred in June. Gachagua’s reaction has been one of anger. He perceives these actions as a misuse of the criminal justice system.

He believes they aim at politically isolating him and leading to his impeachment.

In his statements, Gachagua criticized the political tactics being employed. He likened them to outdated strategies that Kenyans are too wise to accept. He expressed embarrassment over the current political climate, which he believes involves harassment of his staff and allies.

The Deputy President’s comments were made shortly after the DCI’s intentions became public. The DCI plans to charge MPs Benjamin Gathiru Mwangi and James Mwangi Gakuya. The DCI’s intentions to charge them were made public.

They were allegedly involved in planning and financing the protests. The MPs have reportedly resisted cooperating with investigations, further complicating the situation.

The DCI is pursuing serious charges against Gachagua’s associates, including conspiracy to commit a felony and money laundering. As the investigation unfolds, the political atmosphere has intensified, with over 116 MPs supporting a motion to impeach Gachagua.

Allegations against him include undermining Cabinet unity and engaging in divisive politics. These actions have contributed to the growing calls for his removal from office.

Amidst this turmoil, President William Ruto is now attending the United Nations General Assembly. This leaves Gachagua vulnerable to political maneuvers from his adversaries. With the President away, those seeking to impeach Gachagua be gaining traction.

They are potentially accelerating their efforts to oust him before Ruto’s return. The unfolding events highlight a significant rift within the administration and raise questions about the future of Gachagua’s political career.
