Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has ignited an uproar online following his remarks regarding the motion to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

What did Amisi say about Gachagua's impeachment?

In a statement on his X account, the member of Parliament asserted that the signatures backing the impeachment of the deputy president are overwhelming.

While appearing to criticize Gachagua for his remarks about the Mt. Kenya region being shareholders in the Kenya Kwanza government, Amisi emphasized that tribalism is not allowed in the country.

"The signatures are overwhelming. Tribalism has no place in Modern Kenya!" Amisi's statement read.

This follows confirmation from several MPs that they have signed in support of Gachagua's impeachment motion.

National Assembly Deputy Majority Leader Owen Baya announced that the signature collection is ongoing and that the motion will be presented to the House in due course.

He stated that MPs will have the chance to express their opinions once the motion is formally introduced in Parliament.

How did Kenyans react to Amisi's statement?

Amisi's statement provoked outrage as Kenyans quickly took to the comments section to share their views on the MP's remarks.

Ron GCD:

"Focus on the things of greater importance to the country."

Wanyama Wafula:

"You are all tribal. All current politicians are tribal."

Tribeless:

"Table it in Parliament muache uoga."

Asman Kitagre:

"Impeach him now."

Petty Wambui:

"Do it quick ndio kazi ikue rahisi."

Son of the Soil:

"It's getting messy and noisy. Bring it on."

Cornelius K Ronoh:

"I am interested in the end game!"

What are the charges against Gachagua?

The charges in the motion against the deputy president include constitutional violations, related legal breaches, gross misconduct, and abuse of office.

He is also accused of violating the Official Secrets Act and undermining the Cabinet's collective responsibility.

Another concern was Gachagua's decision to blame the National Intelligence Service for the deadly protests against the Finance Bill 2024.
