Court declines to issue conservatory orders stopping DP Gachagua impeachment motion at the Senate
The High Court has rejected Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s attempt to halt the Senate’s upcoming impeachment proceedings, paving the way for the trial to begin as scheduled on Wednesday, October 16.
Justice Chacha Mwita in his ruling on Tuesday allowed the impeachment trial to proceed.
Gachagua is set to face the National Assembly at the Senate where the charges pressed against him will be heard.
Gachagua maintained that the impeachment exercise is politically motivated and expressed confidence that the judiciary would deliver a fair ruling.
