Hon Mwengi Mutuse, the sponsor of the Special Motion that saw Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua impeached by the National Assembly, has told the Senate that he is not an investigator and his aim is to subject the country’s second in command to take political responsibility for his action.

The Member of Parliament told the House that the purpose of his push to have the Deputy President removed from Office was neither to prove criminal or civil culpability.

“I am not an investigator,” as he responded to concerns raised by the Senators on evidence of some of the allegations the National Assembly had submitted to the House in support of the impeachment trial.

“I am a member of Parliament executing my role as provided for in the law. I am not an investigator. My role was not to provide direct evidence. Mine was to establish a prima facie case against the Deputy President.”
