Some speculate that the motion could be introduced in Parliament within two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Mungatana clarified that the censure motion does not seek to oust the deputy president from office. Instead, he explained that it serves as a signal for Gachagua to realign his actions with the government\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe were in South Africa for the African parliament session, we go there three times a year, I personally said after watching things unfold, that when I go home on Sunday, I\u2019m filing the censure motion,<\/em>\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>There\u2019s no correlation really. But we also watched the interview, it wasn\u2019t a person who\u2019s a principal assistant to the president. I think something has gone off the road. The Gachagua off late is not the Gachagua we started with. So this censure motion is saying let us go back to the line.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In his motion, Mungatana accuses Gachagua of making divisive statements along tribal lines. He also claims that the DP has incited citizens to disregard directives from certain county governments, undermining the authority of his office.<\/p>\n<p>Mungatana argues that Gachagua violated Article 75 of the Constitution, which requires state officers to act in ways that prioritize the public interest over personal agendas.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Senate, pursuant to Standing Order 101, Section 1, expresses its displeasure and disappointment with the conduct of Hon. Rigathi Gachagua as the Deputy President of Kenya, and therefore we need to censure him,\u201d<\/em> Mungatana stated in the motion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana has doubled down on his censure motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, citing the DP\u2019s change in character over time.
