Lugari Member of Parliament Nabii Nabwera has questioned the rationale behind calls for the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking openly, the legislator expressed skepticism about the motivations behind the impeachment debate, asking what tangible benefits it would bring to his constituents in Lugari and the nation at large.
“I have asked colleagues and I haven’t gotten any sensible answer,” Nabwera said. “Now, Kenyans help me. Why should I participate in impeaching Gachagua? What do I stand to gain by impeaching him? How will Lugari Constituency gain?”
The MP’s comments highlight growing concerns among some lawmakers regarding the ongoing political discourse surrounding Gachagua’s possible impeachment. Nabwera posed critical questions that reflect the frustrations of many Kenyans about the country’s broader socio-economic issues. He questioned whether Gachagua is directly responsible for several major challenges facing Kenya today, including the collapsing education sector, poor health systems, and deteriorating rural infrastructure.
“Is Gachagua why the education sector is collapsing? Is he the architect of the Adani heist? Is he the reason we have poor health systems? Is he the reason the rural road network is in shambles? Is he the reason treasury has no money?” Nabwera asked.
These pointed remarks come amid increased pressure on political leaders to address the country’s economic downturn, rising cost of living, and systemic corruption. Nabwera’s stance suggests that he believes the impeachment debate might be a distraction from more urgent matters plaguing the nation, such as improving service delivery and accountability in government institutions.
His questions reflect a broader sentiment among sections of the public, who feel that Kenya’s current challenges extend far beyond the actions of a single individual in power. By raising these concerns, Nabwera is calling for a more holistic approach to governance, one that addresses root causes of the country’s systemic issues rather than engaging in politically motivated proceedings.
As the impeachment debate continues to gather momentum in Parliament, Nabwera’s remarks will likely resonate with Kenyans who are increasingly demanding tangible solutions to the country’s pressing problems, rather than what many perceive as political theater. The MP’s stance could potentially influence other legislators to reconsider their positions on the matter.
What’s Next?
With political tensions rising and questions around leadership accountability growing, it remains to be seen how Nabwera’s critique will shape the ongoing debate on Gachagua’s impeachment. For now, his message to his colleagues and the public is clear: address the real issues, not just political agendas.
