Kenyan politics just got a plot twist straight out of a Netflix drama! President William Ruto nominated Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki as his new deputy on Friday, hours after the Senate voted to oust former VP Rigathi Gachagua. 💼🗳️
Why the Switch?
Gachagua’s impeachment followed charges of constitutional violations, including threatening judges and stoking ethnic divisions. Though cleared of corruption claims, 59 senators said 💣: 'It’s a wrap.' The ex-deputy called the accusations 'nonsensical' and claimed he was treated like a 'spent cartridge' – talk about spicy soundbites! 🌶️
What’s Next?
Parliament now has 60 days to vote on Kindiki’s nomination. Will Ruto’s pick sail through? Stay tuned – this political rollercoaster isn’t over yet. 🎢🇰🇪
