Kikuyu MP and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has dismissed claims that he is positioning himself for the Interior Cabinet Secretary role. Speaking to the media, Ichung’wah emphasized that he is content with his current position as Majority Leader and is not pursuing any ministerial post.
Meanwhile, UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar has stirred controversy within the party by stating that UDA no longer recognizes Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President or deputy party leader, following his impeachment. Omar announced that the party will soon hold a meeting to expel Gachagua, making way for new leadership.
Omar further revealed that Deputy President nominee, Professor Kithure Kindiki, is being considered to replace Gachagua once the removal process is completed. “We are looking forward to new leadership that aligns with the party’s vision,” Omar said.
As the impeachment case against Gachagua moves forward, petitioner David Mathenge has written to Chief Justice Martha Koome, urging her to ensure a fair hearing in the proceedings set for tomorrow. Mathenge expressed concerns over possible bias and executive interference, calling for transparency in the case.
Adding to the political drama, Tiaty MP William Kamket has publicly stated that Deputy President Designate Kithure Kindiki must be sworn in once the impeachment of Gachagua is finalized, signaling a potential shift in the country’s leadership.
All eyes are now on the court as Gachagua’s impeachment case unfolds, with UDA leaders preparing for a significant change in leadership.
