However, this whole impeachment saga has inadvertently revealed some deeply disturbing matters. In a TV interview before the impeachment, Gachagua, responding to the grounds for impeachment, revealed that the only successful government programme was the anti-alcoholism drive he championed. Second, in the same interview and during his own defence in Parliament, Gachagua alluded to the sliding back to dictatorship. The Deputy President also revealed that public participation on his impeachment was stage-managed, and that bribe money oiled the sessions. In summary, the impeachment saga showcased our worst instincts, confirmed the hypocrisy, and moral and financial corruption of those who govern us.
