Senate Moves to Appeal Sh50 Million Award to Gachagua - June 2026

The Kenyan Senate is set to appeal a High Court ruling that awarded Sh50 million to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for an infringement of his right to a fair trial. Speaker Amason Kingi has defended the Senate's impeachment proceedings, asserting that the process was conducted properly despite the recent High Court finding. Former Deputy President Gachagua has strongly criticized the court ruling that ordered him to pay shillings 50 million as compensation, and he has officially refused to comply with this decision. Oburu Odinga, ODM Party leader, has dismissed Gachagua's medical explanation as an afterthought, arguing it should not be used to justify compensation related to impeachment proceedings.
