The Standard
This magazine reported on a plan to remove Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from power, pushed by MPs of the Union of Kenya First.
Some of President William Ruto's allies want him not to get involved in the process of firing his deputy, amid fears that the President may intervene to save Gachagua.
Reports suggest that Ruto has not yet given a clear position on the matter, and may ask MPs to abandon the plan as he did a few months ago.
The president has scheduled a meeting of a group of lawmakers where the fate of Gachagua will be decided.
The Majority Leader in the National Assembly, Sylvanus Osoro, asked the president to respect the independence of the Assembly, saying that the process of removing Gachagua is the plan of the parliamentarians.
“We respect the President, but for this, it will take a miracle to convince more than 300 Members of Parliament who want a Deputy President of the Nation. If he requests otherwise, we will ask him to accept our proposal to have 40 deputy presidents from other tribes who feel abandoned. We advise the President NOT to involve himself in this and leave the MPs to do their job, Gachagua MUST LEAVE,” said Osoro.
