Senator Mungatana files a censure motion against Gachagua. A censure motion is not an impeachment motion.

Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana has filed a censure motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

The lawmaker said he filed the motion with the office of the Speaker of the Senate early Monday.

 

He alleges the DP has engaged in divisive politics and betrayed his oath of office among others.

 

A censure motion is a debate to show strong disapproval against the conduct of a state officer; it’s not an impeachment motion.

 

The DP is facing growing isolation amid an alleged impeachment motion, which has served to further alienate him in government and has somewhat resorted to fighting back by endearing himself to the voters through public rallies.

 

DP during an interview on Citizen TV on Friday lamented about being removed from President William Ruto’s diary WhatsApp group.

The DP said that the move to remove him and some of his staff has made it difficult to work efficiently.

He, however, said that he would find the right time to talk to the President and sort out the issue.

 

“I always align my diary with that of the President, all the time, and as long as I’m aware of that function, I align accordingly. Sometimes if I’m not aware, I’m unable to align because I also have my programme,” he said during the interview.

 

Gachagua also revealed reasons why a section of leaders want him out of office.

 

He said that due to his nature of being truthful, he is being attacked.

 

“They say that I’m high-headed, that I’m too people-centered, and that I listen to people too much. That I’m asking people to listen to what Kenyans are saying. I don’t think it is a crime,” he said during the interview
