Friday, October 18, 20214 –At least four petitions have been filed seeking to stop President William Ruto and the National Assembly from appointing Professor Kithure Kindiki as the new Deputy President.
The petitions, according to an online, news outlet, filed by various individuals and organizations, challenge the impeachment process of Rigathi Gachagua and the subsequent nomination of Kindiki. They argue that the entire process was unconstitutional, marred with procedural inconsistencies, and driven by political motives.
Emmanuel Elijah Otieno, an advocate of the High Court of Kenya, argues that the National Assembly’s impeachment process was flawed. He contends that the public participation exercise was inadequate, falling short of both the quantitative and qualitative thresholds required for impeaching a Deputy President elected by over seven million Kenyans.
