Nandi County Senator Samson Cherargei has issued a stern warning to Members of Parliament (MPs) regarding their recent conduct of attacking Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during parliamentary sessions.
Cherargei emphasized that such behavior is inappropriate and diminishes the respect due to the second in command.
Addressing the MPs, Cherargei urged them to refrain from using the parliamentary floor as a battleground for personal attacks.
He argued that Parliament should not be a venue for politicians to demean each other and that any criticisms or remarks should be made openly, allowing all Kenyans the opportunity to witness them.
He believes that political discourse can be elevated to a more respectful and transparent level.
The context of Cherargei’s remarks involves recent incidents where Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been the subject of criticism by various political leaders, particularly MPs, during parliamentary sessions.
One notable instance involved Gachagua’s conduct of carrying his own bag while boarding a plane to Mombasa, which was mentioned by several MPs.
Adding to the political tension, there are rumors of a potential fallout between President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua.
This speculation has been fueled by Gachagua’s noticeable absence from several recent government functions presided over by President Ruto, leading to further uncertainty and gossip about the state of their relationship.
Senator Cherargei’s comments come at a critical time when the unity and decorum within the government are being closely scrutinized.
His call for MPs to maintain a higher standard of conduct in Parliament is a plea for maintaining the dignity of the legislative process and the respect owed to high-ranking officials.
Senator Samson Cherargei has called on Members of Parliament to cease their attacks on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during parliamentary sessions.
He stressed the importance of upholding the decorum of the House and suggested that any criticisms should be aired openly and transparently, rather than in a manner that undermines the dignity of the deputy president.
This appeal for respect and proper conduct in political discourse comes amid rumors of a rift between President Ruto and Deputy President Gachagua, adding another layer of complexity to the current political climate.
