Gachagua says he’ll fight allegations of corruption, undermining the government and stirring ethnic hatred ‘to the end’.
Kenyan members of parliament are due to vote on impeaching Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for alleged corruption and undermining the government, among others.
Gachagua has rejected the allegations and is expected to defend himself in parliament on Tuesday afternoon.
“I am innocent of all these charges,” he said in a televised speech late on Monday as he denied in detail the allegations that include amassing a large unexplained property portfolio and promoting “ethnic balkanisation”.
“I have no intention whatsoever to resign from this job. I will fight to the end,” Gachagua added.
Lawmakers launched the impeachment process on October 1, with 291 MPs signing up to the motion, well beyond the 117 minimum required.
