Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been impeached on Tuesday after 281 MPs voted YES to the special motion tabled by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse on the floor of the National Assembly on October 1, 2024.

44 MPs voted NO.

Mr Gachagua becomes the first Kenya's DP to be impeached in the National Assembly.

Speaker Moses Wetang'ula will notify the Speaker of the Senate within two(2) days.

Shortly after the MPs impeached him, the DP on his X account posted at least two(2) Bible verses before 11pm.

The verses are as below:

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

Jeremiah 30:19 "From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained."

“It is well,” Mr Gachagua posted.
