History has a way of vindicating those who act with courage when others remain silent. Hon. Mwengi Mutuse’s decision to table the impeachment motion against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was one of those defining acts of political bravery that saved Kenya from descending into chaos.
At the time, critics claimed the motion was political. But today, Gachagua’s own words have become the strongest evidence that Mutuse was right. The same man who once defended every government decision—no matter how controversial—is now calling President Ruto a thief and accusing the administration of betrayal. The irony is glaring: when Gachagua sat at the high table, everything was perfect; now that he’s outside, everything is rotten.
Mutuse’s motion wasn’t personal—it was patriotic. Gachagua had turned national leadership into a tribal theatre, branding citizens as “shareholders” and dividing the country along dangerous lines. His conduct demeaned the presidency, insulted the spirit of unity, and threatened the stability of the very government he served. Mutuse saw through the charade and acted before it was too late.
Today, Gachagua parades himself as a victim, but Kenyans remember his arrogance in power—how he mocked others, bullied colleagues, and reduced state offices into instruments of personal revenge. His current outbursts are not revelations; they are confessions of a man whose power has expired.
If anything, Kenya owes Mwengi Mutuse gratitude. He had the courage to pull the plug before Gachagua’s political toxicity became national cancer. His boldness restored order, preserved unity, and reminded the nation that no one—no matter how high they rise—is above accountability.
Indeed, when Mutuse moved that motion, he didn’t just impeach a man—he saved a country.
