Today, I am a sad mother of the Mountain. I am a sad daughter of the Mountain.
If you look at the faces of colleague MPs you will see we are pained because we can’t believe - some of us fought hard so that President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi were elected to office.
Many people may not know but it is only Pastor Dorcas who can explain the pain Rigathi Gachagua went through. He was embarrassed, cases framed against him.
I want to talk to our President. Mr President, I am not qualified to advise you on anything but I am doing it on behalf of the people of Kiambu, who voted for you and prayed for you.
Remember when you came to PCEA Church and broke down? How we broke down and went through a lot when we were looking for this seat you are sitting on today?
I cannot imagine it is only two years and we have forgotten about the pain we went through looking for power. and now we are chest-thumping, plotting how to impeach the Deputy President.
Mr President, I appeal to you. This community of Mt Kenya trusts people and we loved you, but hate betrayal.
The impeachment being planned now and those being used to sign are the same people who intimidated us and plotted against us in the last regime.
Mr President, please remember Kiambu county gave you 600,006 votes - that was a whole 74 per cent of the votes.
Even if you have no respect for Tharaka Nithi votes or votes from Murang’a, I appeal to you to respect our votes. Leave the Deputy President to do his work.
To the Deputy President, we are in Parliament and we know the tricks. We know the mandate you have been given and people who are every day plotting to ensure you do not succeed in your roles.
There are people in Parliament who are out to frustrate anything in the DP’s office.
The same people have teamed up with those who joined us recently and are plotting to introduce the impeachment motion next week.
