NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Supporters and opponents of Kenya’s deputy president clashed Friday at public forums over an impeachment motion against him, which was introduced in parliament by the ruling alliance this week. Rigathi Gachagua is accused of supporting anti-government protests in June and of being involved in corruption and other irregularities, charges he denies. In the capital, Nairobi, a public forum at the Bomas of Kenya turned violent as supporters of President William Ruto clashed with those supporting Gachagua. Nearly 300 legislators signed the impeachment motion before it was tabled, but a number of them from the deputy president’s home tuff say they no longer support the motion after hearing contrary views from their constituents.
