Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria now says he will not allow Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to be impeached.
Speaking on Wednesday, August 7 during the funeral of Professor Ngugi Njoroge in Subukia, Nakuru County, Kuria said he would not support the removal of Gachagua even him he wronged him.
“I hear people saying that that the Deputy President should be impeached. I will not agree for the deputy president to be impeached. As long as I am alive I will not agree he be impeached,” said Kuria.
He added, "We cannot pay a bad deed with a worse one, I have released him on a free bond."
At the same time, Kuria expressed his dissatisfaction with the cabinet nominees that the Mt Kenya region presented in the new broad-based government.

The former CS argued that Raila Odinga presented well-known political individuals while the Mt Kenya region presented nominees that are little known.
"During the recent reshuffle, some have brought their superstars... haven't you seen Joho? Haven't you seen Oparanya? Haven't you seen John Mbadi? Ours who have been returned and those who have been selected even if you go to the encyclopedia, you can't tell where the person is coming from or where they are going,” Kuria stated.
Further, Kuria said he will now embark on a tour around the Mt Kenya region and tell the people the mistakes he has learned since the 2022 election.
The former Gatundu MP’s remarks come days after Gachagua said he would not take the impeachment rumors seriously.
"I have heard the rumors of my impeachment. I am not worried, I don't take it seriously. I heard they delayed because they didn't have the numbers but now Raila will give them numbers, I will wait and see," Gachagua said on Sunday during a joint interview at his official residence in Karen.
