Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to lead protests if the embattled Chief Justice Martha Koome is removed from office.
Speaking during a church service in AIPCA, St. Joseph’s KK Garu church in Meru County, Gachagua started by accusing president Ruto of trying to muffle political influence in Mount Kenya.
The former DP also took a keen interest in Koome’s woes, as the Chief Justice is currently embroiled in an intense legal battle to keep her seat in the judiciary.

Gachagua went on to blame Ruto for using his office to ensure the CJ is bundled out of office.
Gachagua also faulted Kenya’s Kwanza allies in the Meru region for apparently being quiet amid Koome’s woes.
He further warned the leaders that they would be bundled out of office in the upcoming elections through his ‘political vehicle’, which he plans to name in May 2025.
“All Meru leaders who have betrayed the community, I need you to deal with them in 2027, early in the morning. This community called the Mount Kenya region will deal with traitors for 50 years. We are going to send a very strong signal to the people who have betrayed Mount Kenya. We will send you home along with William Ruto,” Gachagua vowed.
The former DP moreover projected his new party would have more than 120 Members of Parliament, and he urged MCAs to make plans to join him ahead of nominations.
