Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's allies have come out to defend him following an onslaught by President William Ruto's supporters in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. Nandi senator Samson Cherargei appealed to Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah to show the DP respect. During the commissioning of new classrooms funded by NG-CDF at Highway-Manyatta Primary School in Ruai, Kasarani Constituency, Nandi senator Samson Cherargei slammed Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah. In a passionate appeal, Cherargei asked the National Assembly Majority Leader to show the DP respect in his utterances.  The lawmaker claimed Ichung'wah wasn't disciplined as a child, referencing the incident where he shook the president's hand while pocketing. "I want to ask Kimani Ichung'wah to respect you. He should stop being disrespectful; we see even when he greets the president, he puts his hand in his pocket. He deserves to be given a thorough beating; if he was not disciplined in primary school, then the rest of us will beat him," he said amid cheers. Cherargei calls out Wetang'ula The lawmaker further faulted the MPs for fluting standing orders when they had a discussion on the DP. Cherargei questioned why Speaker Moses Wetang'ula allowed the discussion to continue, urging him to be impartial in his duties. "I am very shocked. You've been an MP, and according to standing order number 87 of the National Assembly standing orders, the standing orders of the National Assembly do not allow your conduct or that of any other person to be discussed without a substantive motion. Because Parliament cannot be used to insult the Deputy President. And we will not accept it. What is surprising is how Speaker Wetang'ula, who is a lawyer, allows you to be insulted inside parliament. I want to tell Speaker Wetang'ula to conduct Parliament with neutrality because we will not accept the Deputy President being insulted, whether inside or outside Parliament," Cherargei stated.
