Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has shifted his legal strategy in his impeachment battle, dropping a bid for reinstatement and instead pursuing a claim for compensation and benefits.

• The core of the case is now about financial compensation as if the impeachment was unlawful, rather than reversing the impeachment itself.
• Key figures involved include Rigathi Gachagua, his legal team led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, and the respondents including the Attorney-General and the Speakers of the National Assembly and Senate.
• Gachagua claims financial compensation equivalent to what he would have earned over a full five-year term (2022 to 2027), including salary, allowances, and retirement benefits, alongside unspecified damages.
