<\/figure>\n\n\nThe deputy president suggested that this exclusion is part of a broader plot to isolate him from government operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone knows that there was a meeting in Nyahururu and another one at a Cabinet Secretary\u2019s house in Kitisuru, Nairobi, where the plot to remove me was hatched. It\u2019s not a secret,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gachagua further explained that his absence from recent key presidential events was a result of this exclusion. \u201cIf I\u2019m not part of the group, how am I supposed to know where the president will be?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that was the reason he was not at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to receive his boss this week when he flew back from Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was not aware of the time the president was arriving,\u201d he said, explaining, \u201ceven today, I don\u2019t know what time he is leaving for New York and he has not spoken to me since morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deputy president expressed frustration, saying that President Ruto had once assured him he would not face the same kind of intimidation that Ruto endured during his tenure as deputy president under Uhuru Kenyatta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the apparent fallout, Gachagua warned that any impeachment motion against him would require the president\u2019s approval. \u201cNo motion to impeach a deputy president can be tabled in Parliament without the president\u2019s knowledge, so if it\u2019s tabled, then it must have his approval,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed that he was removed from a WhatsApp group containing President William Ruto\u2019s official schedule, further highlighting the deepening tensions between the two leaders. Speaking during an exclusive interview on Friday night, Gachagua said the removal has left him in the dark about key presidential functions. \u201cI no longer know…<\/p>\n
