However, a few days later, President William Ruto called him, along with Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang'wa and Nyandarua Senator John Methu.
Speaking to Inooro TV, Keroche said they met with Ruto for two hours, discussing relationship his degenerate and Gachagua.
“I remember my meeting was on Tuesday the other week, my meeting lasted 2 hours and no one else was there and I know even my colleagues were called privately,” Keroche said.
He also said that after their meeting with Ruto, they were called by the Minister of Internal Security who is also Deputy President-elect Kithure Kindiki.
“We were also called by the Minister of Security although some of my colleagues did not attend,” he added.
Keroche said that Kindiki informed them that he never asked them to be neutral but insisted that they needed to decide for themselves if they would vote for or against Gachagua's removal.
He added that Kindiki seemed to suggest that voting against Gachagua's removal could have an effect.
“He confirmed the split and told us that he was not asking us to choose a side, but we needed to do it alone. He added that some decisions would bring results. But everyone had to make their own decision.”
