Supreme Court Ruling on Gachagua's Ouster Amid Probes into Violent Attacks - January 2026
The Supreme Court of Kenya is set to deliver a ruling regarding the impeachment case of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, which will clarify the constitutional boundaries of judicial authority. Concurrently, the United Opposition has requested a meeting with Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja to address what they claim are 24 attacks targeting their leaders since November 2024, with Gachagua cited as the primary victim. In one recent incident, Gachagua and worshippers were forced to flee a church in Nyeri due to the firing of live bullets and tear gas. Murang'a Woman Representative Betty Maina has denied any involvement in the church attack. Maina instead blamed Gachagua's Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) for instigating the chaos.
