Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has cautioned former Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru to moderate her political rhetoric. Speaking on the evening of September 24, after Waruguru visited him at his residence, Gachagua emphasized that he is a peaceful individual and urged the former lawmaker to adopt a more measured and calm approach.
“Tone down because we are not fighting with anybody. We are peaceful people who don’t have a problem with anybody. Let’s be calm and work because Kenya is ours and it’s great,” Gachagua remarked.
In response, Waruguru stated that she took note of the Deputy President’s remarks and added that she was glad to see he was doing well.

“I am happy to see you are okay and I have heard you because when you speak, you are like our father. I am happy you are giving us assurance that everything is okay,” she stated.
Over the past week, Cate Waruguru has been outspoken about rumors of an impeachment plot against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, issuing warnings to those allegedly involved. During a church service on Sunday, September 22, in Thika, Kiambu County, the former Laikipia Woman Representative accused President William Ruto of orchestrating plans to punish his deputy.
“Our president, you were prayed for by the church and those who were used by God to put you in office especially the Mt. Kenya region, you cannot punish us twice. We were punished because of standing with you and now we see you want to punish Rigathi Gachagua and Mt. Kenya because we have differed with you,” Waruguru remarked.
Reacting to the impeachment speculations on Friday, September 20, Gachagua said he was prepared for the realities post his removal from office, should it succeed.
“That is the MPs’ decision. My position is very clear. I was elected by the people of Kenya, and it is them who will confirm whether I am working well or not. But if MPs are persuaded, intimidated or coerced to remove me from office, so be it,” the DP stated.
