Kenya has witnessed its first-ever impeachment proceedings against a deputy president, Rigathi Gachagua, who faced serious allegations that saw him permanently barred from holding public office.

The deal in kenya is from my understanding. Kenya is a confederation of 43 tribes. Unfortunately 4 tribes hold more power than the 39. Presidents in kenya should be more focused on aligning the interests of this loosely held tribes to assure that there is no free riding. The other 39 tribes should be allowed more flexibility to lead and make there decisions as they see fit. To add, the church should stop poking its fingers or meddling with the state.
And Kenyans the government is there to oil or simply lubricate the democracy, economically we have to lift ourselves up from the bottom. Food should be our number one priority. 2. Basic shelter and sanitation 3. Trade, which is to fulfill our fantasies as humans 😢

@stevekioi2044

What if the legislatures have been corrupt all along and the senators equally. The Judiciary is not with clean hands either

@eunicemutiso5788

ruto doesn't want a more clever deputy than him that's why he resists gashagua and goes for kindiki😢2027 is coming let's meet on the ballot

@SangaliMwanga

Not only corruptions but also he was selfish and tribalistic leader

@rajumrecords711

BBC is aligning University Students to talk matters kenyan politics😂😂😂. Our Politics are never predicted. Anything can happen andy time . We don't need these popcorn and wheetabix kids on screen. We need Veteran Kenyan retired Politicians to talk Matters Kenyan Politics. Kenya is not a new state so allow these kids to get older first then you will interview them. They are using Government funds to get Education through HELP. They will just lie to you and to the Audience 😂😂😂

Gachagua fixed himself with his reckless utterances.
He is now the impeached deputy president

@leahsifuma9901

Dont forget to mention that bribery of legislators, senators & judiciary is part of the impeachment process

@catholichymns3847

You cannot compare the sackings with impeachment. in Kenya, the preaident cannot directly fire his deputy,, unless he mobilizes others to impeach them

Britain, please come and colonize us again. Come and rule us. We are not okay, literally.

@Mountainlovers611

But remember Gachagua wanted impeachment secretly as agreed with Ruto to start his own 2032 campaigns and you guys are blindly stopping him.

This is drama that both the president and his deputy have set up and when they see you guys serious about the matter, they see you all that argue as fools.

No one will believe me but that is the reality of these two guys.

They want to change the constitution such that they can both run the country longer (each of them) than their former late boss did.
