High Court upholds impeachment of former DP Rigathi Gachagua, but awards him Sh50m damages
The High Court has upheld the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, while awarding him Sh50 million in damages. The ruling was read for over nine hours by judges Eric Ogola, Antony Mrima, and Frida Mugambi. The court also found that the Senate violated Gachagua's rights by failing to adjourn proceedings when he fell ill. However, the court ruled that Kindiki was properly nominated as deputy president and that the National Assembly conducted proper public participation during the impeachment. Lawyers have offered mixed reactions, with some like Tom Ojienda praising the decision as sound, while others including Lawyer Wangui argued Gachagua's right to a fair trial was violated. Gachagua's legal team has announced their intention to file an appeal, asserting their client did not receive justice.
