‘I am Strong Enough’ – DP Gachagua Warns Critics Who Plan His Impeachment
On Friday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua responded to critics who want him removed from his current position in the government.
Gachagua, who spoke at a burial in Trans Nzoia County, accused some of the new state appointees of attempting to remove him from President William Ruto’s administration.
The Deputy President boldly declared that impeachment was impossible because of the enormous amount of effort he had put into securing the top position.
“In this government, I am the one who is in it, regardless of who comes in, I am strong enough. I fought for this government and there is no way I can move an inch,” Gachagua said.
This man @rigathi Gachagua like how he lectured ktda tea directors and told them to their faces nyinyi ni wezi.

“I welcome those who have been appointed by the president and let us work together for our country and the new people can not displace the ones who were there.”
While insisting on the matter, the second-in-command emphasized the importance of unity while refuting claims that tribal politics were fueling division.
Gachagua stated that it was impossible to unite the entire nation when Kenyans were still divided regionally.
“I have heard Governor Natembeya calling for people to unite, but when I try to do the same, they claim that I am tribal,” DP Gachagua stated.
“How many sets of rules are there in Kenya? Is there a rule for the mountain and different rules for the rest of Kenya?” he posed.
Mr. Victor Gwaro Okioma was a great gentleman and amiable friend who I have known for the last 35 years.

Meanwhile, the deputy president criticized governors for demanding increased budget allocations.
According to Gachagua, the government was facing enormous challenges in raising sufficient funds to run the country, making it impossible to meet the demands of the counties.
“The government doesn’t have a store where it keeps money. We get the money from taxes to give governors and Kenyans rejected the finance bill in one voice, where will we get the money?” questioned the Deputy President.
“The day we get money, come for it on the same day. We have many debts and salaries to pay.”
