| MPs Gathoni Wamuchomba and Onesmus Ngujiri could not hold back tears when they went to visit their friend Rigathi Gachagua at Karen Hospital. |
Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s allies, Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba and Bahati MP Onesmus Ngujiri, were seen weeping in distress at Karen Hospital. This occurred after their close friend Gachagua was hospitalized on the day the Senate delivered its verdict on his impeachment trial. What did Wamuchomba and Ngujiri say?
Ngujiri, who was weeping uncontrollably, was seen being comforted by former Laikipia Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru. Amidst tears, Wamuchomba could be heard suggesting that they had supported William Ruto’s rise to the presidency, but now, in Gachagua’s time of need, he had abandoned him. “We helped him but he has deserted us,” Wamuchomba said On his part, Ngunjiri expressed somberly that they had left everything in God’s hands to fight for them and their embattled friend amid his removal from office. “Let them take away everything from him but they shouldn’t darken his heart, his heart belongs to God. God I pray they don’t touch his heart.
I don’t have much to say, we leave it all to God. If we get a chance we will visit him tomorrow,” Ngujiri said. Has Gachagua been impeached by Senate? Gachagua has made history as the first deputy president to be impeached under the 2010 Constitution. In a heated late-night voting session on Thursday, October 17, senators voted to approve the National Assembly’s impeachment motion. Senators voted to find Gachagua guilty on five of the 11 charges in the impeachment motion presented by the National Assembly.
