Gachagua Claims Unconstitutional Removal as Impeachment Proceedings Continue - May 2026

Kenya's Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claims his removal from office was unconstitutional, while lawyers for the Kenyan Senate argue the impeachment process followed proper legal procedures. Proceedings took an unexpected turn when the first petitioner disappeared from court during afternoon sessions. The case has taken a new turn following the presentation of new evidence by a doctor, whose testimony is expected to significantly influence the proceedings. Meanwhile, the family of Dr. Obwaka has implicated an officer from State House in alleged torture and mistreatment prior to his death, seeking justice and accountability for the circumstances surrounding his demise.
