Gachagua says it’s well after his impeachment motion was passed by Members of the National Assembly.
281 members voted in favour of his removal as the Deputy President of Kenya.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Tuesday night, reacted to the decision by many Members of the National Assembly to impeach him.
Taking to his socials, the DP shared a message by quoting a biblical verse from 1st Thessalonians 5:18.
“Give thanks in all circumstances; this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
He went on to quote another one from the book of Jeremiah 30:19.
“From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honour, and they will not be disdained.”
Further commenting it’s well.
“It is well”
Rigathi Gachagua was impeached on Tuesday evening after 281 MPs voted in favour of the motion for him to be impeached while 44 legislators opposed the motion with one lawmaker abstaining.
The second in command was given two hours to defend himself before the parliament and during the process he termed the impeachment as unfair, claiming that he only followed his boss’ footsteps.
The impeachment motion is now set to be tabled before the Senate by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi.
Gachagua becomes the first deputy president to be impeached by members of parliament since the introduction of the 2010 constitution.
