Azimio Principal and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has declared a fresh war against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and President William Ruto.
In a statement, Kalonzo said that after spending hours seated next to the deputy president for the first time, Azimio la Umoja coalition would reject an impeachment motion initiated by the Members of Parliament who were fighting Gachagua.
Instead, he indicated that Azimio la Umoja would initiate a motion to impeach both the DP and his boss William Ruto.

“However, as Azimio and on behalf of the Kenyan people WE WILL bring an IMPEACHMENT MOTION against both William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua,” said Kalonzo.
