OPEN LETTER TO THE DEPUTY PRESIDENT
OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA, H.E GEOFFREY RIGATHI GACHAGUA
Dear Your Excellency, Receive my
missed calls and greetings. I believe you are in good health and keeping well.
Sir, I know you have put up a spirited fight against your impeachment motion
both in the Courts and in Parliament.
Clearly, it has not been easy. The
National Assembly already made a decision to impeach you.
It was an
overwhelming vote by 281 members and the matter has proceeded to the Senate for
trial.
Your Excellency Sir, imagine they
have impeached you, the sitting Deputy of the Republic of Kenya. This is for
sure unprecedented.
Sir, this impeachment is both a political and legal process
with very limited chances of survival. Maybe you never saw this coming your way
but it is here now with us.
Bwana Deputy President, in my
knowledge and estimation, the Senate will overwhelmingly confirm your removal
from office by way of impeachment come Thursday this week. Do you want to go
through this? I doubt so.
Your Excellency Sir, when this
happens to you as it is designed to happen, you will be disqualified from
holding any other State office in the future.
Those advising you to stay put are
your biggest enemies. They are not for your good. They want you down.
Mr. Deputy President Sir, like
any other politician, I know you still harbour ambitions of serving this great
country in the near future.
Please listen to your inner heart that tells you to
live to fight another day. As a curious onlooker and Kenyan of goodwill, my
unsolicited advice to you Sir is that you resign from office before Thursday
18th October 2024.
This will for sure save your political career.
Yours Truly FO
