High Court Refers Gachagua Impeachment Challenge to Chief Justice Koome
The High Court has officially referred the case challenging Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment to Chief Justice Martha Koome. This decision comes after Senior Counsel Paul Muite argued that the case presents unprecedented constitutional issues requiring careful judicial consideration.
In a hearing on Tuesday, Muite outlined the complexities surrounding the impeachment process and its implications for the constitutional framework of Kenya. The court acknowledged the significance of the issues raised and agreed to involve a specialized three-judge bench.
Chief Justice Koome is expected to appoint the bench to hear the matter in the coming days. The case is poised to attract significant public and political attention, given its potential impact on the current administration and the legal precedent it may set.
As the legal proceedings unfold, both supporters and critics of Gachagua are closely monitoring the situation, which could lead to pivotal changes in Kenya’s political landscape.
