MPs Wamuchomba, TJ Kajwang Clash Over Gachagua’s Mentality
On Tuesday, October 8, Ruaraka Member of Parliament TJ Kajwang clashed openly with his Githunguri counterpart Gathoni Wamuchomba over Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment.
It all started when Kajwang explained why he would vote yes on the motion to impeach the embattled DP.
According to Kajwang, Gachagua was motivated by personal gain rather than national interests when he assumed office.
“His mentality is that he got votes for President Ruto and now it is time to eat,” Kajwang said.
“For that reason only, I would vote because I want a situation where we are through with elections, everyone including me is served because I pay taxes.”

At this point, Wamuchomba, a staunch supporter of Gachagua, intervened to condemn Kajwang’s remarks, claiming that there were no mechanisms for measuring mentality.
“Mr. Speaker, is honourable Kajwang is in order to say the Deputy President has a mentality to eat? Does he have a gadget to measure mentality? Is that a fact? Can he prove it?” She posed amid a heated house which heckled him.
Kajwang, who was clearly upset by Wamuchomba’s remarks and the pronunciation of his name, retorted by vowing to ensure Gachagua was ousted as Deputy President.
It was no surprise that Wamuchomba wanted to support Gachagua, despite the fact that the odds were heavily stacked against him.
The Githunguri MP has previously claimed that Gachagua has been a target of political leaders since his time in the UDA, who want Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to take over as second in command.

Gachagua will also have the opportunity to present his case to MPs, who will then decide whether to impeach him or not.
If the impeachment motion passes, the verdict will be sent to the Senate, where he will face a trial on the charges leveled against him.
After hearing arguments from both parties, the Senators will vote on whether Gachagua should be impeached.
If impeached, Gachagua will eventually be removed from office, though his only hope is to go to court and challenge the verdict.
