Deputy President Rigathi GachaguaKenya has for the first time found itself in political turmoil following the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Gachagua is a leader who has followers and what he is claiming, if true, is dangerous for the country and if the claims are untrue then it is even more dangerous to national cohesion. He is still the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya.

But political observers, among them notable lawyers, have warned the beleaguered one-time Mathira MP is fighting a losing battle, considering the state machinery unleashed on him.

The top consideration on whether or not any of them can be the face of Mt Kenya is persuasion and charm.

Speaking after he was discharged from Karen Hospital on Sunday, Gachagua said the impeachment came after the assassinations by security agencies failed.

After the two assassination attempts failed, it is when this impeachment motion was hatched,” Gachagua said.
