Supreme Court dismisses applications by Gachagua, National Assembly in impeachment case
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been dealt a blow after the Supreme Court dismissed his bid to halt impeachment proceedings pending before the High Court.
In a ruling delivered on Friday, the apex court rejected applications filed by both Gachagua and the National Assembly, with no orders as to costs.
A unanimous decision was arrived at on Friday, January 30, where a five-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Martha Koome, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, and Justices Smokin Wanjala, Njoki Ndung’u and Isaac Lenaola maintained that the apex court can only issue stay orders in respect of proceedings before the Court of Appeal.
