Lawyers for the National Assembly have refuted claims that the impeachment process against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was unfair, asserting he had adequate opportunity to defend himself.

• The National Assembly's defense was presented during a hearing of Gachagua's appeal against his impeachment.
• National Assembly lawyer Tom Ojienda argued that Gachagua had sufficient time between the presentation of charges on October 9 and the Senate trial on October 16 and 17.
• Ojienda emphasized that impeachment proceedings must be conducted expeditiously to uphold constitutional provisions and national interests, citing a Supreme Court precedent.
