COOKED: Uasin Gishu MP Vows To Lead Gachagua’s Impeachment
Gladys Shollei, the Uasin Gishu Women Representative, has become the latest high-profile politician to publicly express her intention to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Sholei, addressing at a gathering in Uasin Gishu County on Monday, September 23, bluntly warned the DP that she was willing to lead the impeachment move.
“I am putting you Rigathi Gachagua on notice. You are going to be impeached and I am going to be in charge of the impeachment,” Sholei stated amid applause from the crowd.
Shollei further claimed that she will personally protect President Ruto from the growing crisis inside the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Her remarks simply fueled an already volatile situation, with a large number of Ruto’s allies putting pressure on the besieged Gachagua.
Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana stated on Monday that he filed a censure resolution against Gachagua with the Senate Speaker’s office, a claim that Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale disputes.

Duale reminded Mungatana on social media that any censure motion against the DP could only come from the National Assembly.
Meanwhile, Gachagua’s relationship with President William Ruto is apparently reaching a breaking point.

His recent tell-all interview, which aired on Friday, did little to help his cause, as he freely discussed his strained relationship with Ruto’s friends, who allegedly barred him from public gatherings.
Gachagua then brazenly challenged his supervisor to ‘bring his home in order’, referring to Ruto’s allies who have launched a series of continuous verbal attacks on him in recent weeks.
The DP continues to believe that only Ruto possesses the authority to dismiss him.
“There is no motion of impeachment against the Deputy President that can find itself on the floor of the house unless the President gives a nod. Nobody else has the capacity to push for that motion apart from him,” he said on Friday.
