Tuesday, October 15, 20214 –The High Court has rejected advances form the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s lawyers seeking to halt his imminent impeachment.
The court’s decision today, therefore, paves way to the Wednesday October 15 long awaited and anxious packed legal battle in the Senate which seeks to see off from power the second in command.
Delivering the ruling at Milimani Law Courts, Justice Chacha Mwita, ruled that the Judiciary respects the Constriction and independence of other arms of government and therefore hard to meddle into the Senate matters.
“Having considered the application and argument by parties, the constitution, and the precedent, the prayer for the grant of conservatory order is hereby declined,” ruled Justice Mwita.
Justice Mwita reasoned that the Constitution delegates the impeachment process to the Parliament, and the court must show restraint in meddling with the process. He, however, ruled that the challenges raised in the petition can be considered after the Senate concludes its role.
