All eyes on Gachagua impeachment court battle

The hearing of a High Court petition in which former Kenyan Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is seeking to overturn his impeachment resumed this week. Gachagua was ousted by Parliament in October 2024 for corruption and undermining the government. His lawyers argue that the impeachment proceedings were improperly conducted, denying him the chance to defend himself in the Senate. A decision from the three-judge bench is expected, with likely appeals to the Supreme Court.
