Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse has accused Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of violating the Constitution, using divisive language, and promoting exclusionary views in his role as the country’s second-in-command.
Mutuse, speaking in Parliament, ihe pointed out that Gachagua’s repeated portrayal of the government as a “shareholding company” as a key example of the Deputy President’s disregard for the nation’s core principles of inclusivity and unity.
“The Deputy President has violated the Constitution on numerous occasions,” Mutuse said, emphasizing that Gachagua’s rhetoric over the past two years has fostered division rather than national cohesion.
He noted that Gachagua’s language positions the government as an entity with shares, where power and influence are unequally distributed, rather than a body serving all Kenyans equally.
The allegations come as Parliament debates a motion to impeach the Deputy President, a move that could have significant implications for Kenya’s political future.
If the motion passes with a two-thirds majority, it will move to the Senate for trial, where Gachagua’s fate will be decided.
