Junet alleged that money changed hands in Parliament during the historic impeachment process.

National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed has claimed that some Members of Parliament were paid during the 2024 impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, alleging the payments were meant to secure support for his removal from office.
Speaking during the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)–United Democratic Alliance (UDA) broad-based rally in Malava, Kakamega County, on Sunday, Junet alleged that money changed hands in Parliament during the historic impeachment process.
“Sasa wengine wanatuambia kwamba wako na watu. Na wanataka kupeleka sisi kwa mtu ambaye tumefanya impeachment, tumefukuza yeye kazi. Na unajua waziri, wakati tulikuwa tunafukuza Gachagua kazi, kuna kitu kilitembea hapo, huko bungeni. Wacha niseme ukweli. Kuna kitu kilitembea nini?” he said.

The Suna East MP urged those he claimed had received the money to stop spending it in Nairobi and instead invest it back in their communities.
Gachagua became Kenya's first Deputy President to be removed through impeachment after the National Assembly voted to oust him and the Senate upheld the decision following a two-day trial.
He faced several charges, including gross violation of the Constitution, abuse of office and promoting ethnically divisive politics, allegations he denied, maintaining that the process was politically motivated.

Latest Stories

The former Deputy President later challenged the impeachment before the High Court, arguing that Parliament violated the Constitution and denied him a fair hearing.
However, in a landmark judgment delivered on June 8, 2026, a three-judge bench upheld the impeachment, ruling that both the National Assembly and the Senate acted within their constitutional mandate and that the public participation process met the required legal threshold.
The court, however, found that Gachagua's right to a fair hearing had been violated after the Senate declined to adjourn the proceedings despite his absence. While it declined to overturn the impeachment, the court awarded him Sh50 million in constitutional damages payable by the Senate.
