Ndindi Nyoro Breaks Silence on Gachagua Impeachment
Personal Reasons Over Politics
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has revealed why he avoided Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment process. Moreover, he emphasized that his decision was based on personal reasons, not political calculations.
Interview Revelation
Speaking to NTV on December 26, Nyoro admitted he was present during the process. However, he clarified that he disagreed with the impeachment and chose not to participate.
Clear Communication of Position
Nyoro stated he openly communicated his stance to colleagues. Consequently, he accepted any consequences, including removal from his budget committee chairmanship.
Faith and Personal Conviction
He explained that his decision went beyond politics. Furthermore, he asked himself what God would want him to do before refusing involvement.
Relationship With Key Leaders
Nyoro revealed his ties with Rigathi Gachagua and President William Ruto. He stressed that he now prefers constructive criticism over insults and political hostility.
Low Profile During Impeachment
During the impeachment, Nyoro maintained silence and avoided signing motions. As a result, Ruto’s allies viewed his stance as betrayal, leading to his removal.
Details of Gachagua’s Removal
Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse tabled the motion in October 2024. Later, 282 MPs supported impeachment, and the Senate upheld five charges against Gachagua.
Costly Mistake for Government
Nyoro recently termed Gachagua’s impeachment a costly blunder. He argued it fractured Kenya Kwanza and cost Ruto votes in Mount Kenya.
Rising Political Influence
Nyoro has since become a vocal critic of Ruto’s economic policies. Ultimately, he is seen as a potential 2027 presidential challenger, despite not declaring ambitions.
