Court to issue directions on Gachagua impeachment cases

The High Court will today issue directions in a case in which Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is challenging his impeachment proceedings.

The case was filed a week before the 281 MPs on Tuesday voted to impeach him.

Speaker Moses Wetangula called the vote after only 44 of the required 117 MPs voted to save Gachagua.

From his court documents, Gachagua seeks to block the assembly as a whole from processing, passing and transmitting to the Senate any resolution founded on the notice of motion dated September 26.

One of his grounds is that the one-day period provided by the national assembly to facilitate public participation during the impeachment process was insufficient.

Several other cases touching on his impeachment have been filed with the National Assembly now seeking to have them consolidated and heard together.
