The Deputy President's impeachment is now being termed as a distraction from matters of grave concern. A section of Kenyans have raised mixed reactions on social media following Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment process and the nomination of Interior Cabinet Secretary Professor Kithure Kindiki as the new DP.
As the impeachment saga unfolded, many Kenyans took to X to express their frustration over the government's frustrations.
@RealOmtatah tweeted: Forget about Gachagua's impeachment for now. Look at news about ADANI.
@ violetwanjiru13 replying to @KenyanSays tweet: if only you could show this much attention to things affecting us such as SHIF, bills, #REJECTSHA #Reject Adani politicians will fight for one another lakini Mkenya ni wa Mungu tu.
@shaker_brian tweeted: This is how they silence us and then go on with their lives after distracting us.
@Sila_ Ngunjiri tweeted: A very sober-minded man and knows the issues that need priority.
@MombasaEmir tweeted: Let's deviate from the porojos distracting us from the Adani Heists.
@ rose_mutin26373 tweeted: The very important matters #Reject # Reject SHIF # Reject SHA Education funding model pathetic health sector on a dead bed.
@ Son_of_Laikipia tweeted: Whatever has been happening in this country since June is not for the people or service delivery, it is about the survival of the political class & the entrenchment of a kakistocracy.
Amidst pressing issues such as the Adani Deal, the troubled Health Sector, Social Health Authority(SHA) and the Education funding model, many Kenyans are arguing that the impeachment motion was timed to happen simultaneously amidst a period of public anxiety over the government's handling of these issues.
As the impeachment process is now cooled off, Kenyans are debating on whether the country's predicaments have been neglected. With the country facing numerous challenges, the desicion of government to concentrate its attention on the real issues affecting the country remains unseen.
