Gachagua Heads to Court of Appeal, Calls Impeachment a Constitutional Coup - June 2026

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua plans to appeal to the Court of Appeal following a High Court decision that upheld his impeachment by the Senate, labeling the process a "constitutional coup". The High Court ruling awarded him Sh50 million for infringement of his right to a fair trial, but Gachagua has rejected this decision as "unjust" and refused to comply. Speaker Amason Kingi has defended the Senate's impeachment proceedings, asserting the process was conducted properly. Former Chief Justice David Maraga has publicly questioned the High Court ruling, asserting the impeachment should have been annulled. The Opposition and lawyers are challenging the verdict, citing significant flaws in the ouster process.
