According to Mungai, despite holding the deputy president’s position, Gachagua has little power in the government when it comes to making key decisions.
Mungai argued that Gachagua's responsibilities, though given by President William Ruto, do not place him in a position of authority over critical government projects.
Instead, the lawyer suggested that Gachagua's role is minor, likening his duties to chasing after chang'aa brewers and small-scale offenders, rather than being involved in high-level decision-making.
This, according to Mungai, makes Gachagua seem like an outsider in a government focused on big projects and significant deals.
Mungai further pointed out that Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi holds more influence in the Kenya Kwanza government than Gachagua.
He mentioned that individuals like Sudi and Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen are more likely to have a say in important decisions than the deputy president.
Mungai emphasized that contacting Sudi or Murkomen would likely get someone further in their requests than approaching Gachagua.
During an appearance on NTV, Mungai stated, "Oscar Sudi calls more shots than Gachagua in this government.
If you want something done, you are better off contacting Sudi or Murkomen. Gachagua doesn’t have the authority to make big decisions in this administration."
Mungai also criticized how quickly Members of Parliament moved forward with Gachagua's impeachment process.
He expressed concern that the MPs rushed to a decision without fully understanding the charges or giving enough time to thoroughly review the allegations.
According to Mungai, the 14-day period set for the impeachment process was insufficient, as the constitution does not specify a strict timeline for such proceedings.
He argued that the MPs acted hastily, comparing their behavior to "sheep" following orders without properly considering the seriousness of the situation.
