Gachagua emphasized that no leader has the authority to prevent or deprive Kenyans of their fundamental rights, including voting and removing an unpopular government.
“Artilkali 1 of the Constitution of Kenya states about the authority of the people and the supremacy of the Constitution. It states that all leadership authorities are from Kenyan citizens, and they can implement it directly. he added.
