    "content": "relation to his cases in court are interference with the constitutional functions of the Legislature and the Judiciary. Another ground given in determining whether or not there is a violation of the Constitution is whether there is an abuse of the code of conduct. My argument is that the Deputy President’s constant pronunciations that divide the country to regions and tribes is an abuse of the code of conduct. It is a ground for impeachment. Another criterion given is the disregard and breach of fundamental rights in the Constitution. There are two minority tribes in Taveta where I come from: The Taveta and the Pare. They are minority tribes in Kenya. Article 56 of the Constitution says that the State should do everything within its means to ensure that marginalised tribes in Kenya are protected. The pronouncements of the Deputy President about a certain region without considering the Tavetas and the Pares of Taveta is a violation of fundamental rights and freedoms as guaranteed by Article 56. It is a ground for impeachment. Lastly, there are Kikuyus even in Taveta. Who will speak for the Kikuyus in Taveta if we are constantly obsessed with Mt Kenya? That is why I am saying, for his obsession with Mt Kenya or a certain region, Rigathi Gachagua must go. Thank you."
