Ruto's headache in picking deputy if Gachagua is sent packing

The dilemma for President William Ruto is whether or not to retain his deputy from Mt Kenya, where the fight is already considered to be between Mt Kenya East and West.

As Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua faces his nightmare at the Senate this week, President William Ruto’s tough task is finding Gachagua’s replacement.

There is an unprecedented jostling for the seat, which had been automatically deemed Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki’s for the taking.

Before Kibwezi West lawmaker Mwengi Mutuse tabled Gachagua’s impeachment motion, a section of Members of Parliament from the DP’s Mt Kenya backyard endorsed Kindiki as the region’s point man.

When Mutuse got the ball rolling, ambitious politicians from Mt Kenya and beyond seized the chance to posture themselves as the ideal DPs.
