Nairobi—Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has indirectly criticized President William Ruto over MPs’ push to impeach him.
In a televised press briefing on Monday, October 7, Gachagua called the ongoing push to impeach him a betrayal.
The deputy president alluded that a decision had been made that he was no longer useful to the Kenya Kwanza administration.
He suggested that Ruto only used him to fight former president Uhuru Kenyatta to defeat the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party in the 2022 polls.
He alluded that given Ruto won the election, he sees Gachagua as no longer being useful.

” I’m being haunted on nonsensical allegations simply because a decision has been made that Gachagua is no longer useful to this administration. I am now seen as a spent cartridge. My role was to help fight Uhuru Kenyatta and bring Ruto to power but now that mission is over. They ant to discard me and appoint someone else, disregarding the will of Kenyans. This is what we call political deceit, conmanship, and betrayal,” Gachagua said.
