    Allies of impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua are talking tough amid a looming purge from plum parliamentary leadership positions.

    This is even as Gachagua's allies alleged a plot by President William Ruto and his troops who voted for his ouster, to extend the term limit for political officeholders.

    "This means there are some people who don't want to leave power. If you look at the person who has brought this proposal, where he comes from and the way he voted to remove Gachagua, it tells you there is a clear plan," Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang'wa said.

    A constitutional amendment bill by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei extends term limits for the President, MPs, senators, governors and MCA to seven years from the current five years.

    The Star has established that the Kenya Kwanza leadership is targeting Gachagua's sympathisers in the impending bloodbath that could trigger further discord in the ruling coalition.
