Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has swiftly acted on the MPs’ resolution regarding the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, leaving no room for delays. In a decisive move, Kingi has officially gazetted a special Senate sitting, setting a clear date and time for senators to hear the charges against Gachagua.
This rapid action signals the urgency of the matter, as Gachagua’s political future now hangs in the balance. The deputy president, once a rising star in Kenyan politics, faces serious allegations that could see him ousted from office if the Senate votes to impeach him. Gachagua’s supporters argue that the charges are politically motivated, while his critics believe the impeachment process is necessary to hold him accountable for alleged misconduct.
The special sitting will bring the nation’s attention to the Senate, as the senators are now tasked with carefully examining the charges and determining Gachagua’s fate. The outcome could reshape Kenya’s political landscape, as the impeachment of a sitting deputy president is a rare and consequential event.
For Gachagua, the clock is ticking, and his defense team is expected to mount a strong case to counter the allegations. Ultimately, it is the senators’ decision that will decide whether Gachagua remains in office or faces a premature end to his political career.
