National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed has refuted allegations that he was bribed to back the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, during a television interview, Junet clarified his previous remarks at a political rally, denying that he received any money to support the impeachment process.
He emphasized that he lacked any financial inducement to vote for Gachagua's removal, asserting that his decision was driven by political reasons rather than being coerced. Mohamed clarified that his earlier comments at the rally were taken out of context, stating that when he mentioned "something moving" in Parliament, he was referring to lobbying efforts aimed at securing the necessary votes for Gachagua's impeachment.
He stressed that the impeachment was not influenced by monetary payments but by political considerations and widespread discontent over Gachagua's conduct while serving as deputy president.
