Kingi allows Orengo to represent National Assembly in Gachagua impeachment trial » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16 – Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has allowed Siaya Governor James Orengo to represent the National Assembly in the Senate impeachment trial against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

This is after he shot down an objection by Gachagua’s lawyers objecting to Orengo’s appearance citing his position as a State officer.

Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru argued that Orengo was a state officer serving as a first term governor and past decisions made by the house have squashed attempts of public officers to represent clients in the house due to conflict of interest.
