Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo has claimed there was a hefty payout for anyone who voted 'yes' to impeach former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
During a TV interview on Tuesday, March 4, the vocal senator was critical of the rollout of Universal Healthcare Coverage as he attempted to explain the key challenge crippling operations within the Social Health Authority.
According to Maanzo, the government is struggling because lawmakers often pass laws under coercion rather than prioritising legislation that benefits the ordinary Kenyan.
Pressed on whether he had ever been in a position where he had to take a bribe to endorse a bill, Maanzo cited the infamous Gachagua impeachment motion, claiming senators were offered Ksh4 million to oust the former DP.
