Senate to Appeal High Court Ruling on Violation of Gachagua’s Fair Hearing Rights - Aaron Cheruiyot

Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot said the Senate will appeal the High Court ruling that awarded former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua Ksh50 million in damages for violating his right to a fair hearing. The High Court upheld Gachagua's impeachment but found that his right to a fair trial was breached when the Senate denied him an adjournment during his absence. Cheruiyot insisted that Gachagua was given enough time to defend himself and accused him of using delay tactics. The Senate disagrees with the court's finding on a fair trial.
