The presentation of Dr Gikonyo today has attracted a lot of interest in court, especially for those in the political arena. This was a move that was meant to indicate that Rigathi Gachagua was unwell and could not have attended the Senate summons where he had requested to attend in personally.
Dr Gikonyo has requested to laugh when Muthiomi Thiankolu told him to answer if he had hidden Rigathi Gachagua during his impeachment proceedings to stop a constitutional process. He was keen to note that this was laughable since he had never thought of such a thing during his industrious medical career.
Gikonyo paused and laughed off the question making the entire court burst into laughter since this was a funny request, and he later apologized to the magistrate since this is not expected in a court of law. This brought a moment of relief since the entire situation was very tense.
