Saturday, October 5, 20214 –Orange Democratic Movement ODM Party has distanced itself from the ongoing plans to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachgua.
In a statement issued by deputy party leader Simba Arati, ODM stated that it should not be blamed for anything going on in government especially on the impeachment of Mr. Gachagua.
Arati noted that ODM only entered into the current government to help streamline the administration of the country.
He urged those involving ODM into this matter to cease because whether Gachagua goes home or not, it has nothing to do with the opposition party.
“We would be happy to see Kenya Kwanza stand and manage this country well but if the MPs have seen it crucial to remove the DP then be it. We should not be blamed as ODM Party,” he remarked.
And speaking from Nakuru County today Saturday, MP Samuel Arama described the plans to impeach the DP as a national priority; adding that those against the exercise should scheme on how to stop it through the Parliament.
“Impeachment of Gachagua is a priority, everything else is a sideshow. The Constitution demands we demonstrate our oversight role, and I’m proud to see Kenyans taking part to build a better future,” he announced to the media.
Gachagua’s impeachment motion was tabled in Parliament for the first time before Speaker Moses Wetang’ula announced that public participation be undertaken in accordance with the law.
After the Parliament is done with the matter, the file will be handed over to the Senate where Gachagua will be given an opportunity to defend himself from the accusations before his fate his fate sealed.
