Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss an appeal challenging the constitutionality of the High Court bench handling his impeachment petitions.

• The appeal is considered moot and non-justiciable because the bench has already been reconstituted by Chief Justice Martha Koome and all parties have participated in proceedings.
• The appeal stems from efforts to impeach Gachagua, with cases pending in the High Court in Nairobi and Kerugoya.
• Gachagua's legal team argues that the Deputy Chief Justice's authority to empanel benches was settled after a Court of Appeal ruling on May 9, 2025, which directed the Chief Justice to form the bench.
