Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has voiced his support for the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
In a statement titled 'Why Rigathi Must Go', Mutua explained that the several remarks made by the DP on Mt Kenya did not support the spirit of unity in the country.
He described Gachagua as a rogue DP, insisting that the impeachment was not about politics.
"The curse of Africa has always been tribalism and corruption. Today’s Kenya cannot be taken back. We are one country, one people and it will remain so," read the statement in part.

"That is why this motion for the impeachment of rogue Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, is not about politics but about saving Kenya’s soul. That is the reason it is supported by diverse political parties - from the parties of Kenya Kwanza to Azimio parties such as ODM and even by members of Wiper Party,"
Notably, the impeachment motion was filed by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse who is a member of the Maendeleo Chap Chap party that was formed by CS Mutua.
"Stirring an insurrection and violence, enslaving Kenyans with corrupt deals and attempting a coup are despicable actions that no leader should be allowed to get away with," the CS added.
"They go against the ethos of what we stand for as Maendeleo Chap Chap party and as members of the ruling coalition. Kenya deserves better!"
MPs are set to debate Gachagua's impeachment this week before a vote is taken within the coming weeks.
Should MPs support the motion with the required numbers, the motion will moved to the Senate for debate and voting.
