High Court Upholds Impeachment of Former DP Rigathi Gachagua, Awards Sh50m Damages
The High Court has upheld the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, but awarded him Sh50 million in damages. The court ruled that the Senate violated Gachagua's rights by failing to adjourn proceedings when he fell ill, after he requested an adjournment due to ill health. However, the court also held that the National Assembly conducted adequate public participation during the impeachment proceedings and that Deputy President Kithure Kindiki was properly nominated. Lawyers have reacted strongly to the judgment, with some calling it a sound decision while others warned against what they described as the "funeral" of Kenya's Constitution.
