Junet Mohamed, member of parliament for Suna East, denied allegations of accepting money to support the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. During a television interview on August 11, 2026, Junet clarified that his earlier remarks suggesting bribes were incorrect. The claims came amid ongoing political tensions surrounding the impeachment process.
Junet’s comments followed reports that Gachagua had threatened to resign from President William Ruto’s government over a proposed meeting with opposition leader Raila Odinga. Junet claimed the threat occurred in the presence of Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan. The situation highlights growing divisions within Kenya’s political leadership.
The impeachment of Gachagua remains a contentious issue, with multiple parties involved. Junet’s denial adds to the complexity of the narrative, as officials continue to navigate political pressures and public scrutiny. The outcome of these developments could influence the stability of Kenya’s government in the coming weeks.
