Uasin Gishu Women Representative Gladys Shollei has launched a fierce attack against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of treason following his controversial remarks about potential violence should he be removed from office.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua dismissed allegations outlined in the impeachment motion that he had amassed a substantial wealth portfolio, estimated at Sh5.2 billion.
Gachagua is facing impeachment supported by majority of MPs and was set to defend himself later Tuesday in the National Assembly, in a motion sponsored by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse. Shollei's further cited a recent rally in Githurai, Nairobi, where chants of"Ruto must go" and"Ruto is a one-term president" were prevalent in Gachagua's presence. She accused the Deputy President of failing to denounce these slogans, effectively aligning himself with an anti-Ruto campaign.
Shollei further criticized Gachagua for allegedly breaching his oath of secrecy as a member of the National Security Council, claiming he incited public discontent against President William Ruto following remarks he made during a press briefing on June 25, 2024, in Mombasa amid anti-government protests.
