Impeaching Gachagua is not among Kenyans' priorities at the moment

The intended impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua points to a ruling coalition on the verge of implosion. Internal party wrangles in the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) are gaining prominence as factions, one coalescing around Gachagua and another opposed to him, emerge.

This comes at a time that UDA, the principal party in the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition, is also beset by a tug-of-war over the position of Secretary General, currently being held by Cleophas Malala. Lawyer Joe Khalende staged an internal coup in UDA to supplant Malala, an act that led to a physical confrontation resulting in Khalende sustaining a head injury.
