The ODM party is led by chairperson Gladys Wanga. It has publicly distanced itself from any rumors about an impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Wanga stated that the party leadership is not aware of any such plans.
She emphasized that any Member of Parliament has the right to propose a motion. She noted that the parliamentary group would tackle any motions brought forth. She urged not to speculate on matters that are not presently in their purview.
Wanga also called on Gachagua to focus on his responsibilities as a national leader. She emphasized this need especially during challenging economic times marked by high unemployment.
There are also transitions in education and healthcare. She expressed disappointment over the Deputy President’s recent comments on trivial matters.
She suggested that such discussions are not aligned with the pressing issues facing the country. Wanga highlighted the need for leaders to focus on national concerns over regional interests.
In her remarks, Wanga pointed out specific challenges affecting Kenyans. She mentioned the struggles of fishermen in Lake Victoria and the sugarcane industry in Western Kenya. She stressed the importance of unity among national leaders. She urged them to collaborate in addressing the issues that impact all citizens.
She emphasized that they should avoid seeking personal or regional prominence. Wanga’s call for unity reflects a wish for collective action in tackling the nation’s challenges.
Echoing Wanga’s sentiments, Kisumu West MP Rosa Buyu remarked that Gachagua is experiencing a pivotal moment in his leadership journey. She emphasized that elected officials must transcend local affiliations and represent the broader interests of the nation.
Both Wanga and Buyu’s statements underscore the expectation for leaders to focus on the welfare of all Kenyans. They highlight the need for leaders to work together to foster national development.
