In a recent development in Kenya, the High Court has ruled against an application by the deputy president's legal team to halt the senate's debate on an impeachment motion against him. This decision comes after a parliamentary vote last week that resulted in the removal of the deputy president from office.
Justice Chacha Mwita, presiding over the case, emphasized that parliament should be allowed to carry out its constitutional duties without interference from the court. The impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was passed by a significant margin of 281-44 in parliament and has now been forwarded to the senate for further deliberation.
