Rigathi Gachagua news: The rise and fall of a Kenyan deputy president




Rigathi Gachagua, the former Deputy President of Kenya, has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately.


Gachagua was impeached by the Kenyan Senate on October 20, 2023, on charges of gross violation of the constitution, abuse of office, and misappropriation of public funds.


He is the first Kenyan deputy president to be impeached, and his ouster has sent shockwaves through the country.


Gachagua, a close ally of President William Ruto, has denied all the charges against him and has vowed to fight his impeachment in court.


He has accused his political enemies of orchestrating his downfall, and has claimed that he is the victim of a witch hunt.


The impeachment of Gachagua has been a highly controversial affair, and has divided opinion in Kenya.


Some Kenyans believe that Gachagua was corrupt and deserved to be impeached, while others believe that he was the victim of a political witch hunt.


The impeachment process has also been criticized for being rushed and for not giving Gachagua a fair chance to defend himself.


The impeachment of Gachagua is a major blow to President Ruto, who has been a close ally of Gachagua for many years.


It is unclear what the future holds for Gachagua, but he is likely to face a long and difficult legal battle.
