Kimani Ngunjiri broke down in tears moments after visiting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at Karen Hospital in Nairobi.
The former DP was impeached by the senate while he was at the hospital
Former Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri penned an emotional message after visiting the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at Karen Hospital in Nairobi.
Kimani struggled to contain his emotions as he expressed his displeasure at the Senate’s decision to proceed with the impeachment motion despite Gachagua’s absence.
He accused President William Ruto of orchestrating the deputy president’s impeachment.
The politician also accused both the house and the executive of failing to take Gachagua’s health seriously.
“They can take all his property but his health should be paramount. God protect Gachagua and maintain his health. His heart belongs to you, help us. Right now, there is not much I can say. Right now we leave everything to God. We will see him tomorrow.”
He was accompanied by Githunguri legislator Gathoni Wamuchomba who also appeared emotional while addressing the press outside the health facility.
Wamuchomba while expressing her dissatisfaction with the impeachment, urged the government to spare Gachagua more woes and let him be and she noted that she has confidence Gachagua would soon get better.
“Gachagua will eventually leave the hospital. We are praying for him. If you are so interested in the deputy president’s seat you can keep it. He has not occupied that position for long. But leave him alone and the little he has at his age.”
The former deputy president’s impeachment followed the Senate’s resolution to continue with the impeachment process despite a request by Gachagua’s legal team for the adjournment to October 22 after he was taken ill.
