Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s political torso is increasingly becoming restless with reports of pending impeachment motion lined up against him set to be tabled before Parliament this Tuesday.

In a bid to put off the political inferno that has been burning hot ever since the reports of a fallout in ideologies with his boss William Ruto, Gachagua has embarked on a seemingly last mission to save his political lifeline.

On Sunday evening, the Deputy President continued his media engagement with local radio stations from Mt Kenya East.

This time around, the second in command denied allegations leveled against him of having banged tables at a meeting with the President while demanding money to the tune of Ksh8 billion.

In his response, Gachagua dismissed the claims terming them as sheer nonsense with no truth in them.

“I don’t have interest with any money. I saw yesterday the local dailies writing some nonsensical things that I banged tables at State House,” Gachagua asserted.

“They were claiming that I banged tables in demand of Ksh8 billion. I don’t have any interest in that,” he added.

Gachagua further dismissed the claims revealing that if he had wanted money, then he would have obtained it from the previous administration.

“Would I have wanted money, I could have gotten it from the previous government that was looking for me to abandon my support for William Ruto,” he stated.

The Deputy President also insisted that he had no motive to demand money noting that the only interests that he has always advanced are for the people, especially those of the Mt Kenya region who voted for the current administration.

“I don’t have many needs. My wife is a pastor and I have grown-up kids who no longer need money support from me,” Gachagua maintained.

“All I care about is the interests of the people, especially these people here who had a lot of trust in me and gave us so many votes.”

On the impeachment motion, Gachagua asserted that the decision to have him out cannot be advanced at this particular point while insisting that he has to complete his term before such a consideration is made.

“Running mate issues was a sole decision of the President, and at the right time, he may want to make a different decision, that’s up to him and is within his purview.  We cannot tell him what to decide even though we are maintaining that our contract must be allowed to serve,” he declared.

The embattled DP insisted that his unity rally for the Mt Kenya region would not be deterred adding that his pursuit for the unification was purely based on a need to mobilize for development projects for the region.

“I want the mountain to unite because it is the only way for us to survive politically, economically, and socially. If we don’t do that we will have no relevance in Kenya’s political landscape, we will not have a Kenya’s resource distribution table,” Gachagua added.

Gachagua’s political career hangs in the balance following a lined-up impeachment motion against him that is set to be submitted before Parliament this Tuesday.

According to the motion, he is accused of undermining his office as well as Article 10 of the Constitution of Kenya which talks about National Values among other issues.
