That has been his creation and those that he walks around with. It is a sympathy-seeking gimmick to try and incite the people from the Mt Kenya region and moreso against the members of parliament,\u201d<\/em> he stated.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt seems it\u2019s only the DP who has been talking about his own impeachment. He seems to be calling for it and I don\u2019t know why. Or he might be imagining that if it comes, he can incite one region of our country against the others and against MPs. That is the fear he has been trying to sell. That is why I have been saying, I have put my chest forward so that I defend the rights of all MPs as their leader,\u201d<\/em> the Majority leader added.<\/p>\n<p>Ichung\u2019wah further accused Gachagua of creating a threat by suggesting his impeachment would cause national instability.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe instability he refers to is similar to what they instigated on June 25, 2024. This is a veiled threat to Kenyans, implying he would stir unrest if an impeachment motion were to be introduced,<\/em>\u201d he warned, referencing youth protests that turned violent in June.<\/p>\n<p>The Kikuyu MP also challenged Gachagua to clarify whether he plans to run for the presidency in 2027.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhile he hasn\u2019t declared his candidacy, there are signs he intends to contest. I\u2019ve heard of his efforts to form alliances with figures like Kalonzo Musyoka. He is free to do so, but we expect him to focus on delivering Kenya Kwanza\u2019s manifesto first,\u201d<\/em> Ichung\u2019wah added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leader of the Majority in the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung\u2019wah, has denied claims of an impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, dismissing them as false.
