Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa has revealed the plans to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua are active.

He suggested that Gachagua does not merit being the second in command due to his general conduct, and his supposed tribal and political bias.

When will Gachagua be impeached?

According to the lawmaker, Gachagua will be home by the end of this year.

He said the Gen Z protests months ago fired up the lawmakers to rid the country of leaders like Gachagua.

"Gachagua impeached himself one year ago. Recently, he claimed that MPs have been bribed to send him home. None of us has been bribed. We in the National Assembly have got courage from our Gen Z youths who breached parliament. We have also decided to defend the Kenyan democracy and fight against tribalism in the country, and before this year ends, Gachagua will be celebrating Christmas as an ordinary citizen," said Barasa.

Didmus added that the deputy president was the orchestrator of his woes by disparaging other leaders and preaching hate against them.

"He recently went to Karatina and concerned a meeting in which he said Moses Wetang'ula did not deserve to be the National Assembly Speaker because Bungoma did not deliver votes for one of their own to lead parliament, and he said so about Musalia Mudavadi," he said.

He added that Gachagua had been a stumbling block to efforts by Western Kenya leaders to seek development from the national government.

What Gachagua said over his impeachment

In the meantime, Gachagua says his impeachment cannot be instituted without the approval of his boss, Ruto.

He revealed that such grave issues as the ouster of the deputy president must be a brainchild of the head of state.

According to him, as per the structure of the current regime, contentious legislation and issues with serious implications for the country must be canvassed in a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting convened by Ruto before the matter is taken to parliament.

He added that in the event the motion is tabled in the National Assembly, the president will still be the one to push it to fruition.
