It is one year since Rigathi Gachagua lost the position of Deputy President after the Senate, on 17 October, upheld his impeachment by the National Assembly.

Before his removal, several meetings were held, including between him and President William Ruto, as clergy from the Mt Kenya region unsuccessfully pleaded with the President to intervene.
