Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has launched a scathing attack on former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi unleashed a scathing attack on former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua over his recent political activities. In a no-holds-barred speech, the Prime CS reminded Gachagua of his reality, being ineligible to hold public office. Speaking at a roadside rally in Kakamega, Mudavadi sharply reminded Gachagua of the consequences of his October 2024 impeachment.Mudavadi, a key figure in Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, did not hold back his criticism of Gachagua, who was a founding member of the administration. “The law says this: if you have been impeached, you cannot hold a public office. You cannot have any public office.
Do we understand each other? Not even nyumba kumi will you get,” Mudavadi declared, reminding Gachagua of hiss prospects in future government positions. Mudavadi went on to use the examples of former governors who were impeached and lost their political footing as a way to stress the long-term consequences of his ouster. “So, you know that when the person was the governor in Nairobi, after they were impeached, they never moved again. Isn’t that so? You know that when the person was in Kiambu, after being impeached, they didn’t move again,” he added. What is Mudavadi’s warning on Gachagua The Prime Cabinet Secretary stated that it was time to move forward, urging Gachagua to accept his predicament. Mudavadi urged the people of the region to reflect on the law and refrain from being misled by Gachagua’s presence in the political scene. “I want, as the people of this region, for you to take the law, reflect on it, look at it properly, because we don’t want to be misled by someone(former DP Rigathi Gachagua) who is walking around and cannot even hold a public office.
Let us not waste our time. Let us move forward,” Mudavadi asserted, urging Kenyans to focus on progress. He also addressed what he described as Gachagua’s continuous mourning of his past political defeat, which, according to him, had become a hindrance to the country’s progress. “So, if somebody was mourning, they have finished mourning. The mourning period is over. Kenya must move on. Kenya is not there to listen to you mourning every other day,” he declared. He observed that Kenya’s future should not be stuck in the past and that the country must focus on development under President William Ruto’s leadership. “We must move on, and we must develop the country. And that is where President William Ruto is taking us,” Mudavadi stated.
