Gachagua Impeachment Live Updates: MPs Debate in Parliament

FacebookTwitterLinkedInRedditWhatsApp

Kenyans will on Saturday, October 5, 2024, get a second chance to give their views on the Special Motion on Removal from Office by Impeachment of Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua through a public participation exercise.

The participation is being conducted for the second day running after Kenyans across all 47 counties in the country participated in the exercise on Friday following a directive by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.

Speaker Wetang’ula while addressing the House on Tuesday, October 1, emphasized that the motion cannot proceed without the involvement of the public after the impeachment proposal was tabled by Kibwezi West Member of Parliament (MP) Mwengi Mutuse.

Following the announcement, the National Assembly announced that the process would be undertaken on Friday across the 290 constituencies to be coordinated from 47 specific locations in each of the counties that were published by the government.

On Friday evening, the National Assembly Clerk in a statement announced the extension of the exercise by one day after the Kerugoya High Court recognized the public hearings and ordered the House to organize similar hearings at the constituency level.

Here are the live updates of the second day of the Public Participation exercise of the proposed removal from office, by impeachment, of DP Rigathi Gachagua.


1:22pm: Exercise in Meru

Constituents stream in the public participation centers of South Imenti, North Imenti, Tigania West, Igembe Central constituencies and the Meru County Woman Representative’s Office.

9:30am: Process kicks off in several centers around the country

Residents from different constituencies in the country have started streaming into allocated centers to express their views in the proposed impeachment.

11:21am: Morara rushed to hospital

Lawyer-turned activist Morara Kebaso says he has been rushed to hospital after being hurt in an attack at the Bomas of Kenya.

Morara was attacked shortly after he arrived with his convoy to submit his views on the impeachment motion.

Addressing the chillingly terrifying commotion, Morara explained the circumstances that led to the skirmish.

“I was barred from entering Bomas at the gate. When I finally got in, I was denied the mic at BOMAS floor. Chaos erupted. I am hurt. Headed to hospital. I live to speak another day,” said Morara shortly in a post on X after the scuffle.

11:13am: “No Gachagua No Ruto chants erupt in Nakuru

“No Gachagua, No Ruto” chants erupt in Nakuru as residents take to the street to demonstrate against DP Gachagua’s impeachment motion.


11:15am: Kasmuel McOure Blasted After Addressing Kenyans at Bomas

Artist-turned-activist Kasmuel McOure addressed Kenyans after he was given a chance to address the Bomas crowd.

Kasmuel went straight to the politics of the day, appearing to be speaking the same language with the Members of Parliament.

Without wasting time, the activist went into his full mode, waxing lyrical on his reasons as to why Gachagua should leave office, not once mentioning that President William Ruto too, who he has steadfastly been fighting against, should also leave his seat.

As he spoke, Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang can be seen standing behind him, proudly smiling.

“Gachagua must go!” Kasmuel roars. “Ndio tumalize ukabila Kenya, ndio tumalize shareholders, ndio tumalize siasa ya kuchanganya watu, Gachagua must go!” said McOure

Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie (KJ), who is seated right behind the podium, is also seen clapping and nodding at Kasmuel’s propositions.

However, soon after the video made rounds online, many Kenyans took to their X accounts to call out the activist, terming him a sellout for failing to articulate things that matter most to the common mwananchi.

Kenyans blasted Kasmuel for what they termed as his perceived inclination towards the powers-that-be, appearing to be in bed with the government and out of touch with the disenfranchised Gen Z he purports to represent.

Also, McOure was under fire from a section of Kenyans for failing to address the Morara Kebaso attack where the INJECT part leader was violently booted out of the Bomas of Kenya hall after enduring a vicious attack from an angry mob.

When Kasmuel took to the microphone to offer his views on the Gachagua impeachment, many had however expected that the activist would, first and foremost, address the Morara attack, condemning the goons and expressing his sympathy to his fellow youthful activist.

11:11am: Nairobi Police commander arrives at Bomas

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei spotted at the Bomas of Kenya following chaos where lawyer Morara Kebaso was attacked.


10:55am: Morara Kebaso attacked

INJECT party leader Morara Kebaso attacked at the Bomas of Kenya. He was attacked after a scuffle erupted at the venue.

Morara, who had gone to join Kenyans for the Gachagua impeachment public participation, was preparing to make a presentation at the Bomas Hall when goons quickly descended on him, throwing chairs and brazenly attempting to beat him up.

In videos seen by The Kenya Times, unidentified rowdy youth threw chairs towards Morara’s direction as he was being evacuated to safety.

The incident starts when a rather shaken Morara can be seen settled in his seat as chairs fly from all corners, all aimed at him.

As the chaos continues, Morara is forced to duck for cover, but this worsens matters as the charged crowd continues to throw chairs, with many angling to get a hold of him.

Cameras at some point show a shaken Morara pushed to a corner as the angry mob continues baying for his blood. Even after being escorted from the venue, the riotous gangs still follow him down the hallway. 

Amidst it all, Ruaraka lawmaker TJ Kajwang, who is holding the microphone, can be heard egging the goons on, seemingly encouraging them to teach Morara the ways of the city by keeping up with the ruckus. “Nairobi Hoyeee!” he repeatedly hollers. “Hii ndio utamu ya Nairobi!”

Police were deployed at the scene to contain the chaos.

10:53am: Nyeri residents chant in the streets

“No Gachagua, No Government” – Nyeri residents storm out of the public participation venue to protest against the impeachment motion, citing that they were offered bribes to support the bid. 

The chants erupted into chaos as they barricaded major roads including the Nyeri-Nyahururu highway and ignited bonfires, chanting: “No Rigathi, No Government.”

“Unapea watu form wasign ati upatie watu mia tano. Hatutaki hiyo mia tano…tunajua kujitaftia…No Rigathi…no government,” one resident stated.

10:14am: “Fagia Wote” chants at Bomas

Chants of “Kufa dereva, kufa makanga” and “#Fagia Wote” heard renting the air at the Bomas of Kenya, with the residents breaking into song and dance.

The phrase, which has become a phenomenon, means that if the DP gets impeached, his boss should also leave office since they came in together as a package deal.

“Tumechoka kuambiwa flani ni mbaya na  flani ni mzuri. Embe moja ikioza kwa kikapu, yote yameoza. Nasema kufa dereva, kufa makanga na hashtag inapaswa kuwa fagiawote,” said a resident from Starehe.

Another Nairobi resident pointed out, “Hii serikali ni sisi tulichagua. Ikiwa Gachagua ni mbaya, hata Ruto ni mbaya. Wote waende. Hakuna kubakisha mtu; kufa dereva, kufa makanga.”
