I was elected by 7.2mn Kenyans, Gachagua vows to fight back » Capital News
NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 7 – Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Monday signaled his determination to fight back against the impeachment motion set to begin formal proceedings in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
In a televised address just hours before the proceedings, Gachagua described the ouster attempt as illegal and lacking substantial grounds for his removal.
He reminded his critics and those supporting his impeachment that he was elected by 7.2 million Kenyans and emphasized that he could not be easily ousted by Members of Parliament acting on what he termed “outrageous and false” accusations.
“I thought it is only respectful to the voters that they hear my side of the story,” he said.
