High Court declines to stop Gachagua impeachment process

The matter was mentioned on Monday before Justice Bahati Mwamuye, who directed the matter filed by Cleopas Malalah be placed before the Presiding Judge of the High Court Chacha Mwita for further directions.

Meanwhile in an application seeking to have all matters challenging the impeachment process consolidated, the National Assembly says that the matters raise similar issues and should be conjoined for interrogation by the Court to promote efficient and expeditious disposal of the Petitions.

 "There are so far before the High Court in Nairobi and other stations across the country thirteen (13) Petitions all challenging the removal by impeachment of H.E Rigathi Gachagua as the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya," reads the application.
