Monday, October 14, 2024 – Makueni County Senator, Dan Maanzo, has alleged that the
public participation report on the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi
Gachagua was doctored.
Maanzo pointed out that the National Assembly’s report does not reflect the views of Kenyans, claiming it was manipulated by certain individuals to push for Gachagua’s ouster.
Speaking to Citizen TV on Monday, Maanzo argued that there was no public participation in his county, claiming the numbers were manipulated by the County Commissioner “with guns.”
“I want to give you a case
in Makueni. There was no public participation in Kibwezi West. Whatever was
done at the County was conducted by the County Commissioner with guns,” he
claimed.
“He is the one who
eventually took control of the venue and was allowing one person to vote and
another…all reports that came from Makueni are false reports and subsequently
the whole report of the House is not the report of the people.”
Senator Maanzo further claimed
that the legitimate report would have shown a majority of Kenyans opposing the
move and criticizing President William Ruto’s government.
“The real report will say
that 73% of Kenyans are not happy with the way President Ruto is dealing with
his affairs and has therefore failed in his job,” Maanzo argued.
The legislator believes that
Members of Parliament will similarly face the wrath of Kenyans for their push
for Gachagua’s impeachment and will have a taste of their own medicine.
