Speaking during Obinna Show Live, Ichung’wah said a section of MPs had taken a firm position after earlier attempts to act against Gachagua stalled.
He explained that some lawmakers were frustrated after Ruto had previously defended and retained Gachagua in office on two occasions.
According to Ichung’wah, the situation reached a point where MPs signaled that they expected a clear position from the President on the matter.
He described the moment as one where lawmakers were determined to move forward with their plan if internal disagreements were not resolved.
Ichung’wah did not name specific MPs involved in the discussions, but he emphasized that the pressure reflected broader dissatisfaction within sections of Parliament at the time.
Gachagua, who had been a central political figure in Mt Kenya, had faced growing political tension that later translated into efforts to remove him from office. The process drew national attention, with different leaders taking positions on both sides.
The remarks by Ichung’wah now provide insight into how internal political negotiations unfolded behind the scenes.
They also highlight the role Parliament can play in shaping major political decisions, especially when divisions emerge within the executive.
President Ruto has not publicly responded to Ichung’wah’s latest remarks. However, the account adds to the ongoing discussion about how political disagreements within leadership structures are handled.
The issue remains significant in current political conversations, particularly as leaders continue to reassess past decisions and their impact on future alignments.
