Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President, Nelson Havi, has criticized Members of Parliament who are pushing for the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Havi expressed skepticism over the grounds for the planned motion, implying that the MPs’ reasons lacked merit. He questioned the validity of the arguments presented, hinting that the motives behind the impeachment could be politically driven rather than based on Gachagua’s performance in office.
This comes after reports that 242 MPs had signed in support of a motion to impeach Gachagua. While the exact reasons behind the motion remain under scrutiny, Havi’s remarks suggest that he views the initiative as part of a larger political agenda. He seemingly dismissed the accusations against Gachagua, implying that the focus should be on more pressing issues rather than a drawn-out impeachment process.
The impeachment motion has sparked debate across the political landscape, with some backing it as a necessary step for accountability, while others, like Havi, see it as an unnecessary distraction. The coming days will determine whether the impeachment process gains traction or falters under mounting political scrutiny.
