Senators Were Offered Ksh 10M To Impeach Gachagua, Okiya Omtatah

Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has alleged that senators were bribed to impeach former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.

This he said in Oga Obinna show.

Senator Omtatah said that he was offered 10M.

I was offered 10M. They paid a deposit of 7M to people and 3M after the voting. 

The Busia Senator said as he claimed that he refused the 10M.

Omtatah supported his point by arguing that the law is very clear that the procedure for impeaching the President shall apply to the deputy president with necessary amendments.

He therefore stated that the National Assembly did not get all the necessary amendments to impeach Gachagua since a Vice President does not enjoy immunity from the prosecution that\’s available for the president under article 143 of the constitution.

A lot of things that were drawn at Riggy G were matters of law enforcement that needed to be taken to the OCS. Due to the procedures used to impeach Rigathi Gachagua, I said I will not condemn a man unheard. 

Senator Omtatah added.

Senator Omtatah further said that he voted no on all the 11 grounds that impeached Rigathi Gachagua had been found guilty of as he didn\’t absentee himself and could not condemn an innocent man however far he could not agree with him.
