Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua yesterday claimed there was a plot to impeach him but maintained that for such a motion to find its way in Parliament, it must be okayed by the President.

In an interview with Citizen TV last evening, Gachagua said for the impeachment motion to attain the required threshold, it would require the input of President William Ruto to lobby for it.

"Serious and contentious issues such as the impeachment motion are approved in our UDA's parliamentary group (PG) in our party structure no one else can establish such a motion, just like the way he was spearheading the impugned Finance Act, for the motion to reach to the floor of the National Assembly, it can only be sanctioned by the President," Gachagua said.

At the same time, Gachagua expressed concerns for the campaign mood in the country which he associated with a section of leaders who he accused or accepted bribes from an unnamed government leader to divide Mt Kenya region.
