In effort,DP Gachagua, through lawyer his lead Counsel, SC Paul Muite, seeks to refer the petition opposing his impeachment to Chief Justice Martha Koome and wants the Chief Justice to impanel judges to hear the case.
Meanwhile Paul mwite has taken his ground to pronounce that impeachment in a presidential system is not based on parliament.
Muite slammed parliament decision to recommend deputy president’s impeachment saying that the DP’s impeachment should be held by Kenyans themselves who elected the president and his deputy president to office.
“Impeachment in a presidential system of government is not a question of numbers in the National Assembly. In a presidential system, it is about the sovereignty of the people who elected the President and the Deputy President,”Paul muite said.
