Power Games Turn Ruthless After Gachagua’s Impeachment
The political temperature in Kenya is climbing fast, and at the center of the heatstorm is none other than the impeached Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua. After his dramatic ouster, whispers have morphed into a steady drumbeat: the government could be preparing to arrest him. If true, it would be the boldest political takedown since the days of Moi — and it would send a thunderous message to dissenters across the country.
This isn’t just about legal files or past corruption allegations. This is about control, vengeance, and stopping a wounded but still dangerous political animal before he regains footing.
Gachagua was once President William Ruto’s closest ally, riding shotgun in the 2022 election as the hustler-in-chief’s right hand. But their relationship didn’t just sour — it imploded. His impeachment was brutal and public, a clear sign that the inner circle had turned against him completely.
Now, after being stripped of formal power, Gachagua is defiant and even more dangerous. He’s still rallying support in Mt. Kenya, delivering biting speeches, and building a post-impeachment identity as a political martyr — and that scares the establishment.
They didn’t just remove him from office. Now they want to neutralize him completely.
Let’s not pretend the state doesn’t have ammunition. Long before he was Deputy President, Gachagua was shadowed by accusations of financial misconduct. Several of those investigations went cold — conveniently — after his election. But the files remain intact.
Now, with the political will aligned against him, those same files could reappear in court dockets, wrapped in a shiny “anti-corruption” ribbon. The script is already familiar: revive cases, arrest on charges, drag him through the courts. It’s not new — but it’s effective.
And the message would be clear: impeachment was just step one. Silence is step two.
Gachagua’s political muscle hasn’t atrophied. Even after impeachment, he remains a potent voice in Mt. Kenya. That region is the beating heart of Kenyan politics — and it’s watching closely.
By continuing to call out what he describes as betrayal by the Kenya Kwanza regime, Gachagua is positioning himself as the region’s last loyal warrior. And that narrative is gaining traction among locals who feel abandoned after delivering votes in 2022.
For the ruling administration, allowing him to roam free, unrestricted, is a threat to stability — and a potential rival reborn in 2027. That’s not a risk they’re likely to tolerate.
Impeachment didn’t finish the job. Gachagua is still vocal, still organizing, and still commanding headlines. The possibility of an arrest is about shutting the door before he walks back in.
It would serve two purposes: legally entangle him and scare off any other leaders thinking of breaking ranks. In politics, especially Kenyan politics, timing is everything. And the closer we get to the next election cycle, the harder it becomes to touch opponents without backlash.
If an arrest is coming, it’ll be soon — brutal, decisive, and justified with rehearsed legal jargon. And if it happens, it won’t be justice. It will be strategy.
Despite his fall from official power, Gachagua is refusing to fade. He’s leaning into the narrative of political persecution, using every podium to warn of “deep state agendas” and false accusations.
Whether or not he ends up behind bars, the government has already turned him into something more dangerous than a deputy — an opposition figure with a score to settle. If they silence him, they risk making him a martyr. If they leave him, they risk facing him again.
