Gilgil MP Martha Wangari has strongly opposed the impeachment motion of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Speaking in a public meeting, MP Wangari cautioned the people against throwing out the baby with the bath water and also added that people cannot hate you, and you hate yourself. She was speaking in her local dialect Kikuyu implying that DP Rigathi was their baby as the Mount Kenya region, and they would not throw him out (impeachment). In addition, the hate leveled against the Deputy President should not translate to (his own) people hating him too.
Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwah has been at the forefront of impeaching the Deputy President, however, opposition to the impeachment has arisen from all corners including the church and from across the country. Many are saying Kenya has many problems, which include Adani airport deal, roads, health, food security, and impeachment should be the last of the worries for Kenyans.
