KENYA's Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's spouse and Former Second Lady pastor Dorcas Rigathi, has questioned the manner in which her husband was ousted from the Deputy Presidency.
Pastor Dorcas, accompanying her husband, while attending the funeral service of Hannah Wanjiru Munyi in Kabare at Kiamwathi Anglican Church in Kirinyaga county, attributed the impeachment to be politically Motivated.
The Former Second Lady, questioned the grounds on which a few legislators have the authority to impeach someone elected by Millions of Kenyans.
"Can you be elected by 7 million people and be impeached by 300?" Pastor Dorcas Rigathi posed to the congregation.
The Former Deputy President's wife, came to the defence of her husband, claiming Service and Respect come at a cost and that Gachagua had paid the ultimate price, but they aren't wrong to call him Deputy President and Honorable.
Rigathi Gachagua was impeached as Kenya's Deputy President Following a vote of No Confidence from Parliament and the Senate. In his Place Kindiki, was Nominated, Approved and Sworn-in as the third Deputy President under the new constitution.
Yesterday, Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's spouse Pastor Dorcas Gachagua issued a statement following Kithure Kindiki's swearing-in as deputy president.
In a social media post, Pastor Dorcas shared two Bible verses and expressed that her family was grateful to God.
"We Give God all the glory. It is easy to look at the challenges and circumstances surrounding you and forget the cardinal rule of a believer. Today, my family and I choose to give a prayer of thanksgiving, understanding that, God remains sovereign, whether He saves us from fire or not, Daniel 3:16-18. We give thanks to God for His awesome faithfulness. We call Him, Ebenezer, for this far we celebrate Him. We have seen His mercy and experienced His goodness. Glory and honour be to His Holy name," she wrote in part.
Pastor Dorcas added, "Like Job 13:15-16. Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless person would dare come before him! We appreciate your love and prayers. May God bless you all."

The ceremony took place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre and was attended by President William Ruto, Chief Justice Martha Koome, and numerous dignitaries.
