The Senate has decided to move forward with a plenary session to address the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. This decision follows the failure of a motion aimed at forming an 11-member special committee to investigate the allegations against him.
During the debate, senators expressed varied opinions on the necessity of a special committee, with some advocating for a quicker resolution through plenary discussions. Proponents of the impeachment argue that Gachagua’s actions have raised serious ethical concerns that warrant thorough examination.
Critics of the motion, however, have questioned the legitimacy of the claims, asserting that the process could be politically motivated. As the Senate prepares for the plenary session, all eyes are on the proceedings, which are expected to be contentious. The outcome of this impeachment process could have significant implications for the current administration and the political landscape in Kenya. The plenary hearing is anticipated to begin shortly, with both sides preparing to present their arguments before the Senate.
