In a recent 22-minute address, Martha Karua delivered a scathing critique of President William Ruto, focusing on the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Karua accused Ruto of betraying his deputy and vowed that Gachagua “must go,” signaling her support for his removal from office.
This speech has garnered significant attention, highlighting the deepening political rifts within Kenya’s leadership.
Gachagua’s impeachment in October 2024 marked a historic moment, as it was the first time under the 2010 Constitution that a state official was removed from office.
The National Assembly cited multiple charges against him, including corruption and ethnic discrimination.
Despite his efforts to challenge the proceedings, the High Court upheld the impeachment, leading to his ousting.
Following his removal, Gachagua and Karua have found common ground, uniting in their opposition to President Ruto.
Their alliance aims to foster unity within the Mount Kenya region and challenge Ruto’s leadership.
This partnership underscores the shifting alliances in Kenyan politics and the potential for significant changes in the nation’s political landscape.
