With the removal of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua appearing imminent, intense jostling for his replacement has started in earnest in the Mt Kenya region.
President William Ruto will thus be treading a delicate balance as he picks his next deputy, should Parliament send Gachagua home, known for his strident, abrasive and divisive style.
Big-name political figures from the two regions of Mt Kenya East and West who are eyeing the seat are currently engaged in strategic maneuvers behind the scenes to position themselves favourably as the debate around the DP’s future intensifies.
MPs are currently considering an impeachment motion that is threatening to cut short the career of the self-proclaimed “truthful man” who threatens to spill the beans and tell the public what’s really going on in government.
