Amisi’s assertion comes barely three months after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was faraway from workplace by the use of impeachment following the accusation of being tribal by selling ethnic discrimination and undermining nationwide unity via divisive public statements.

“His public statements promote division and undermine the core values of our Constitution, including unity and inclusiveness. Gachagua’s unilateral remarks contradict the policies we have collectively adopted as a government, damaging our credibility,” Kibwezi West MP Mutuse Mwengi, the mover of Gachagua’s impeachment movement, mentioned.

Gachagua was additionally accused of failing to respect and defend the Constitution, whereas his inflammatory remarks allegedly violated the National Cohesion and Integration Act by selling ethnic hatred.
