The Quaker Church of Africa has called on leaders to end discussions on the impeachment of senior officials terming it a distraction from more pressing issues facing the country.
In a statement, the church said leaders should at this point focus on addressing key concerns related to the country’s stability instead of being obsessed with removing senior officials from office.
The church reminded the leaders behind the ouster motion that the DP and President William Ruto were elected as a team.
Former Kiambu governor William Kabogo has also weighed in on an alleged plot to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, with reports indicating the motion could be tabled Tuesday, next week.
In a statement, Kabogo said the impeachment is a personal challenge to the DP and he should not rope in the entire community.
“On the impeachment of DP Gachagua, most of us are focused on honesty and not just the outcome of this situation. Their alleged personal battles should not involve an entire community as a “shield”,” Kabogo said.
“Whatever transpires between the DP and President, Kenyans still want and demand development and progressive politics,” he added.
His remarks appeared to refer to a statement Gachagua made during an interdenominational funeral service for pupils who died in a fatal fire tragedy at Hillside Endarasha Academy in Kieni, Nyeri county.
In a rare show of unity, more than 120 MPs from President Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza and slightly more than 100 opposition MPs had signed petitions by late Thursday.
