National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has recently weighed in on the DP situation in Kenya further referring to Kithure Kindiki as the new second-in-command.
Speaking during the funeral of Tharaka MP Gitonga Murugara’s mother, Ichung’wah told Tharaka Nithi residents that he is confident their former senator will be sworn in soon.
“I am confident that even those who serve us in the country within the Judiciary will do what is right for Kenya. I am confident in due course we shall be swearing in our Deputy president, the desire of the people of Kenya to be able to move on together as one united country. A deputy president who will serve all the people of Kenya not just the people of Tharaka Nithi or the mountain region.”
He further disclosed that he had spent the night at Kindiki’s home just two Sundays before where they had had discussions and prayed heavily for Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, who was the motion-mover in the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua.
“And because we are children of God, when we prayed God heard us. I want to assure you, people of Tharaka Nithi, we are in a good place because those of us who voted in Parliament, I want to tell you soon enough, time will vindicate us, that we did what we had to do for our love for a united nation.”
Speaking about impeached DP Rigathi Gachagua, Ichung’wah slighted Rigathi Gachagua over his utterances perceived to be too pro-Mt Kenya and assured Kenyans that the region was intact and Kenya was ready to move on once Kindiki is sworn in.
The funeral was attended by several MPs, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse who also had a lot to say on matters related to the deputy president.
