Petitioner Move To Court Seeks to Keep Gachagua as DP After Impeachment
A petitioner has moved to the High Court to block the swearing-in of any new deputy president in case Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment is upheld by the Senate, offering Gachagua a reprieve.
Advocate Morara Omoke on Thursday filed a petition at the Eldoret High Court demanding that Gachagua remain in office until all legal challenges surrounding his impeachment are resolved.
Morara’s case, filed on Wednesday, October 9, aims to prevent Chief Justice Martha Koome from swearing in a replacement while the court hearings are still ongoing. According to the petitioner, the motion to remove Gachagua lacks the legal weight required for such an action, raising concerns about the political motivations behind the impeachment.
