High Court suspends Gachagua’s impeachment for constitutional review » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 18 – The High Court has suspended the Senate’s impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, pending a determination by a bench to be formed by Chief Justice Martha Koome.

Justice Chacha Mwita issued the order after Gachagua challenged his removal in court, noting that the case raises “serious constitutional issues” that require a panel of uneven judges.

“I am satisfied that the petition and application raise monumental constitutional issues touching not only at the heart of a functioning constitution but also its fundamental tenets of the rule of law and human rights,” Justice Mwita ruled.
