Wetangula Shifts Stance on Gachagua’s Impeachment.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has recently reversed his stance on the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. He had initially supported this just days prior. Wetangula had labeled Gachagua as toxic and unfit for office.

Fellow MPs accused him of being compromised by the executive. In reaction, he now claims neutrality in the matter. This shift has raised questions about the motivations behind his change of heart.

The controversy escalated. Marakwet West MP Kipchumba Timothy Kipchumba expressed a lack of confidence in Wetangula’s ability to preside over the impeachment motion. He suggested that Wetangula should recuse himself due to his earlier comments.

Kipchumba emphasized the need for a fair hearing for Gachagua, arguing that Wetangula’s prior statements indicated a bias. This ask highlights the tensions within the National Assembly about the impeachment process.

In response to the call for recusal, Wetangula defended his position, asserting that he remains impartial. He referenced a sermon he attended. It focused on the theme of accountability for wrongdoing.

He suggested that his earlier comments were not indicative of a predetermined stance. This defense appears to be an effort to regain credibility among his peers. He is navigating the politically charged atmosphere surrounding Gachagua’s impeachment.

The situation reflects broader political dynamics in Kenya, where alliances and loyalties can shift rapidly. Wetangula’s change of heart be strategic. It helps him keep his position and avoid further conflict with the executive branch.

As the impeachment motion progresses, the implications of these developments will likely continue to unfold. They will impact both Gachagua’s political future and Wetangula’s leadership within the National Assembly.
