Lawyers representing Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have poured cold water on the impeachment motion before the Senate, saying it does not meet the threshold.
According to Elisha Ongoya, the evidence presented by the mover of the motion is not only false, and ridiculous but also embarrassing.
“Those of us who understand this motion for what it is, understand why these panel-beating manoeuvres are being tried here,” he said.
He argued, “the motion as approved and presented by the National Assembly will remain in our constitutional history as the most embarrassing motion ever approved by a house of Parliament in the Commonwealth.”
In the motion by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, Gachagua faces 11 charges. In submission, Ongoya cited the claim in which Gachagua has allegedly interfered with the KTDA reforms.
He noted that no statement, affidavit or correspondence from any official of KTDA has been provided to support.
“It is just a claim which the mover of this motion said and told the National assembly to believe his word for what it is and they believed him,” he stated.
He also wondered how the DP could dragged into the renovation of his residence yet the National Assembly approved money for the purpose.
