The lawyers include some of those who represented former President Uhuru Kenyatta in his presidential election petitions and others involved in the 2022 presidential election petitions.
Gachagua appeared before the House on Tuesday at 5 pm to answer the 11 charges levelled against him.
The lawyers, led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, will be fighting to save the DP’s position. Others include Victor Swanya, George Wandati, Faith Waigwa, Elisha Ongoya, Ndengwa Njiru, George Sakimpa, Murigi Kamande, Willis Otieno, Amos Kisilu, Tom Macharia and Julia Omwamba.
Muite is a renowned lawyer, who has 51 years of experience in the corridors of justice.
