Kenyan Senator Regrets Role in Deputy President's Impeachment

Gloria Orwoba, a former nominated senator in Kenya, recently expressed deep regret for her participation in the impeachment proceedings against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. In a video interview, Orwoba stated, "I regret it. I regret participating in the impeachment of Riggy G, DCP party leader." She explained that her decision was based on what she now believes was inaccurate information. The video shows excerpts from her interview, highlighting her remorse and detailing the events leading to the impeachment. Following the impeachment, Orwoba faced significant backlash from the public and her own party. The High Court temporarily halted her expulsion from the UDA party, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. Orwoba's statement underscores the importance of accurate information in political decision-making and the potential ramifications of acting on misinformation. Her case has sparked a wider conversation about accountability and the role of elected officials.
