In addition, His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua has on several occasions throughout the last two years, made public statements contradicting the President on critical matters of governance and the exercise of the President's function as a symbol of national unity. 24. To Illustrate— (a) In March 2023, at a public forum in the Nyanza region, the President said Kenya belongs to all, notwithstanding how people voted in the 2022 General Elections, and that he would ensure the government does not discriminate against anyone. However, His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua, speaking after the President at another public forum, contradicted him by saying that Kenya is a company in which the provision of government services is based on shares. (b) His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua has made numerous other utterances at public forums, where he publicly restates the divisive narrative that Kenya is a company in which the rights of citizens are based on shares determined by how various ethnic communities voted in the 2022 General Elections. 25. His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua’s unilateral, divisive and inciteful public statements are impeachable offences to the extent that— (a) They undermine the effective discharge of the national government's executive mandate. (b) They violate the doctrine of collective responsibility. (c) They are equivalent to insubordination of the President, which is incompatible with his constitutional status as the principal assistant to the President of the Republic of Kenya."
