Embattled United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party Secretary General Cleophas Malala has warned President William Ruto on the collateral damage that will arise should DP Gachagua be impeached.

According to Malala, Gachagua’s plotted Impeachment will bear severe repercussions on President William Ruto's re-election bid. 

Malala further urged Ruto to block the alleged Impeachment plan. 

Speaking during a church service in Kiambu County on Sunday, Malala alleged that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party-allied legislators are behind the Impeachment plan categorically pointing out Suba South MP Junet Mohamed and Homa Bay Township MP Peter Kaluma. 

"I am not qualified to advise but these people you want to use to oust your deputy who stood with you, you might be thinking that you are impeaching Rigathi Gachagua but you have started the journey of removing yourself," he said.

"The same people who are moving that motion, and I am being told that they have selected Junet Mohamed and Peter Kaluma, will start by removing your deputy but I assure you those same people will remove you as president."

"Please call your house to order, don't punish Rigathi Gachagua. This man was humiliated in front of his children, he was arrested because of you William Ruto. We urge you not to be inhuman," he said.

Malala noted that Gachagua has been loyal to the President since President Uhuru's regime and was targeted a number of times by state agencies due to his allegiance to then DP Ruto. 

Rumours of a Ruto-Gachagua fallout have been making circles with their allies throwing words at each other at public rallies on defense of their Principles. 

On a Live TV interview on Citizen TV, Gachagua told put Ruto-allied MPs at UDA for plotting his Impeachment and disrespecting him while the President didn't calm down the tensions. 

Gachagua called on President Ruto to protect him from the constant insults, reminding him of the promise made during the 2022 campaign season.
