The impeachment process that led to the removal of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from office has taught Kenyans, leaders and more specifically future holders of the office many lessons.

Political scholars argue that Gachagua was a victim of his overzealous support for President William Ruto and the naïve belief that being part of the presidency made him indispensable.

“Never carry anybody’s baggage. Never fight a war that is not yours. Riggy G has been fighting everybody for the last two years including Uhuru and Raila,” says political commentator Philip Kisia.
