Nairobi’s Uhuru Gardens, the venue where some had speculated Deputy President designate Kithure Kindiki would take his oath on Saturday, October 19 to replace Mr Rigathi Gachagua, was out of bounds to the curious public and the media. Wrapped in a cloak of grey clouds, the venue remained isolated: no flags fluttering, no crowds milling around. A woman walks past Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi on October 19, 2024. But the High Court had on Friday temporarily stopped the replacement of the Deputy President. The gates were locked and no one was being let in, with the military manning the venue.

Senior Counsel Paul Muite and his client former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua in the Senate on October 17, 2024Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his allies are staring at more trouble as the political realities of the DP’s impeachment sink in. LOOMING EXPULSIONUDA acting secretary general Hassan Omar last month hinted at plans to expel Gachagua from the party. Sources told the Star that President William Ruto’s majority side has orchestrated a ruthless purge targeting Gachagua’s allies whom they accused of undermining his leadership. “If amongst the charges the DP is facing is undermining the President and you support him, what are you telling us? The two are among the 44 lawmakers who voted to save Gachagua at the National Assembly.

Corridors of Power/ Star IllustrationsCORRIDORS OF POWERBy Star TeamPANIC HAS ROCKED a critical institution after the rumour mills started speculating about possible changes that might affect the institution’s leadership. ******************************************************************************A POLITICO IS the talk of the town for ‘cheapening’ what keen observers believe would have been a golden opportunity to improve stakes. They were overheard saying the politician has a long way to go, unless he gets proper advisers or changes tack. A legislator shocked his colleagues after demanding that a witness appearing before them finance a retreat for the House committee and the state corporation to enable members to understand what is happening in the crucial institution. Another member, ashamed of his colleague’s outburst, was heard complaining about the quality of representation in the 13th Parliament.

The Mt Kenya West counties of Kiambu (1,275,008), Murang’a (620, 929), Nyeri (481,632), Kirinyaga (376, 001) and Laikipia (263,012) have a total of 3,016, 582 votes. There were hopes that Prof Kindiki would be Dr Ruto’s running mate in 2022 but Rigathi Gachagua upset the plans. Whether this shift will lead to long-term unity or deepen the rift within the Mt Kenya region remains to be seen. “Kindiki’s nomination is a win for Tharaka-Nithi, Mt Kenya East and the country, but it’s also a victory for the whole country. Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku highlighted Kindiki’s potential to heal the regional divisions within Mt Kenya, given his ability to forge alliances.

Watching the fallout between President William Ruto and his ousted deputy Rigathi Gachagua is beyond surreal. Notably, Gachagua’s comments offer confirmation that Kenya’s pre- and post-independence politics remain predicated on ethnic loyalty, fake appeals to patriotism/nationalism and populism. For my American friends, what’s currently happening between Kenya’s deputy president and his boss, is akin to a public spat between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden or then-VP Mike Pence and then-President Donald Trump. In Kenya, public spats between occupants of the two top political officers have been de rigueur throughout the country’s 60 plus years of independence. It not only pits Ruto against Gachagua but also appears to have an intra-regional angle.

In a surprising move that signalled Gachagua's declining support in his home region, Wamatinga voted to uphold three of the five charges brought against the former DP. Wamatinga is part of a group of nine senators from the Mt Kenya region who voted for Gachagua's removal. Nyamu acknowledged Gachagua's leadership and their shared political journey, stating he had been their leader, fighting for the government. In a surprising turn, Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, who had publicly defended Gachagua, also voted in favour of his impeachment. Despite their strong political ties, Wamatinga voted in favour of two counts and abstained from three others during the impeachment vote.
