“Don’t be worried about the things that are going on in Kenya. There is God in heaven, we believe in Him, and He will do as He pleases. Human beings can plan a lot of things but there is God in heaven,” he said. The Deputy President asked Kenyans to continue praying for him and for Kenya as well.

“We were elected by many people here in Embu. I don’t know whether it will be possible for a few people to chase us away. Is it fair?” he complained.

Gachagua also praised Members of Parliament (MPs) who voted against the impeachment motion in the National Assembly.

He explained that the MPs are listening to the people and following their directions.

“We were all elected by the people, and we must listen to what the people are saying,” he said.

Gachagua added that he was elected alongside President William Ruto, emphasizing that the will of the people must be respected.
