Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed President William Ruto's claims that his impeachment stemmed from internal conflicts with State House officials and Members of Parliament.

Gachagua, in a brief statement shared on his X account on Monday, March 31, moments after Ruto's interview at Sagana State Lodge, also refuted allegations that he demanded Ksh10 billion to drum up support for the president in the populous Mt Kenya region.

Responding to Ruto's claims, the former DP accused the Head of State of allegedly lying to Kenyans about the cause of his impeachment by parliamentarians.

According to Gachagua, the persistent lies by the president pose a great threat to Kenyans and are evidence of Ruto's failed leadership.
