On the other hand, he acknowledged that many people had been calling him to ask about his next move.
According to Gachagau, people need to remain calm as the impeachment process is challenged in court. Therefore, he called on his supporters to remain peaceful.
Nonetheless, he called on the church to be vigilant and speak up when things are not okay in the country.
"People have been calling me to ask what is going to happen. Don't worry. When we feel offended (Mt Kenya region) we keep quiet.
"The church must speak the truth and tell the congregation the way things are," he added.
This was the second time the former DP was making a public appearance following the swearing-in of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
President William Ruto nominated the former Interior CS to replace Gachagua after the impeachment was upheld by the Senate.
