Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga has demanded a public apology from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over claims that he received Ksh 10 million from President William Ruto to support the impeachment motion against Gachagua.

Through his lawyer, Wycliffe Nyabuto, Wamatinga has accused Gachagua of making defamatory remarks during a recent event in Machakos County, which he says has severely damaged his reputation and business interests.

“I have been instructed to write a demand letter to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who falsely stated in Machakos that my client received Ksh 10 million to vote against him during the impeachment motion,” said Nyabuto.

Wamatinga: “I Just Need an Apology”

The Nyeri Senator, a self-described family man, insists that Gachagua’s remarks have not only tarnished his image but have also led people in his region to perceive him as corrupt. He claims that the allegation has significantly impacted his business, causing financial losses.

“The statement has really affected me. I have a family, and my business has suffered. It was wrong, and I just need an apology—nothing more,” said Wamatinga.

He further clarified that his decision to vote in favor of the impeachment motion was based solely on the evidence presented before the Senate, and not any alleged financial incentives.

Legal Action Looms

Lawyer Nyabuto has given Gachagua until Monday to issue a public apology, warning that failure to do so will result in legal action against the former deputy president.

The controversy stems from Gachagua’s statement at a Machakos event last weekend, where he told the public that he had been betrayed by Wamatinga, whom he accused of accepting a Ksh 10 million bribe from the state to vote for his removal.

With the deadline fast approaching, all eyes are on Gachagua to see whether he will apologize or face a legal battle in court.
