Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has officially filed a lawsuit contesting his recent impeachment, arguing that the process was fundamentally flawed and violated the Constitution.
This legal action comes on the heels of the appointment of Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki as the nominee to succeed Gachagua.
In his court filing, Gachagua contends that the impeachment proceedings were not conducted in accordance with the legal requirements and due process.
He asserts that the accusations against him were unfounded and that the National Assembly ad senate failed to uphold the principles of justice and fairness during the deliberations.
The ex-Deputy President’s move to challenge his impeachment has garnered attention, especially as Kindiki’s nomination to replace him signals a significant shift in the political landscape.
Gachagua’s legal team is expected to argue that the impeachment process sets a dangerous precedent for political accountability and undermines the rule of law.
