Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made a significant announcement on Friday, stating that he will begin providing regular updates to Kenyans on the intricacies of the government. In an interview on Citizen TV, the DP expressed his intention to keep the public informed about the happenings within the inner circles of the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Gachagua emphasized that he feels a responsibility to inform the people about the activities and plans of the government. He stated, “I was elected by the people. You have the responsibility to always inform your employer what is going on so that they become aware. They should not be left to wonder what is going on.” The Deputy President believes that it is crucial for leaders to keep the citizens informed, as they are the ones who elected them into office.
He clarified that his position was not granted to him by the President or Members of Parliament, but rather by the people of Kenya. Gachagua highlighted that it was the Kenyan citizens who confirmed him as the right person for the job. He emphasized that he sees his role as a Deputy President to be accountable to the people who entrusted him with their votes.
Despite the possibility of facing impeachment by lawmakers, Gachagua expressed that he is more concerned about the impact it would have on the country rather than on himself. He stated, “It is not about impeaching Rigathi Gachagua. It is about the people of Kenya. It is what that impeachment would do to the country.”
The Deputy President acknowledged his following and the belief that people have in him, emphasizing the importance of considering the broader implications of any potential impeachment proceedings.
