Kenya court says deputy president’s impeachment proceedings constitutional
Al Jazeera
Last week, lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for abuse of office.
Kenya’s Senate is set to begin debating the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua after a court ruled that proceedings against him are constitutional.
The National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, last week voted to impeach Gachagua on 11 charges, which included corruption, undermining the government and stirring ethnic hatred.
Gachagua has denied all the charges.
The 59-year-old said the impeachment motion, backed by opposition lawmakers and allies of President William Ruto, was based on falsehoods that constituted a political lynching, according to court documents seen by the Reuters news agency.
Gachagua launched an appeal in the high court, but Judge Eric Ogola said on Wednesday that the process could go ahead, clearing the way for the Senate to hold hearings and vote on his dismissal.
