CJ Koome Appoints 3-Judge Bench for DP Gachagua’s Impeachment Petition
In a significant development in Kenyan politics, Chief Justice Martha Koome has appointed a three-judge bench to hear Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s petition challenging his impeachment.
The bench comprises Justices Eric Ogola, Antony Mrima, and Dr. Freda Mugambi.
Gachagua’s petition arises from allegations surrounding his conduct while in office, leading to calls for his removal by a section of lawmakers. The Deputy President has denied the claims, asserting that they are politically motivated.
The appointment of the bench is seen as a critical step in addressing the contentious political climate in Kenya. The judges are expected to conduct hearings that will determine the legitimacy of the impeachment proceedings.
Legal experts suggest that the outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for Kenya’s political landscape, particularly concerning the stability of the current administration.
