Court Hears Gachagua Impeachment Was Politically Engineered - May 2026

Petitioners are challenging the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in court, arguing it was a politically motivated purge by President William Ruto's administration to control Mt Kenya politics. Former Lands Minister Amos Kimunya has also been cleared after a 12-year legal battle over an alleged land grab, expressing a wish that his late wife had lived to see justice served. In a separate ruling, the High Court declined to penalize political parties for illegal recruitment of members after ruling that electronic evidence provided by petitioners was inadmissible.

Key Highlights

The High Court has declined to penalize political parties for the illegal recruitment of members after ruling that electronic evidence provided by petitioners was inadmissible.

  • Four petitioners, including the Katiba Institute, sued parties like UDA, Jubilee, and Farmers Party for allegedly registering them without consent.
  • Justice Lawrence Mugambi ruled against the petitioners because they failed to attach a certificate of electronic evidence to authenticate their data.
  • The court noted that while the Registrar of Political Parties received at least 200 complaints, the petitioners' electronic evidence lacked the legal threshold for admissibility, causing the petition to collapse for want of proof.
