During the impeachment ruling at the Milimani High Court on Monday, June 8, 2026, it emerged that Gachagua has officially abandoned his long-running prayer to be reinstated as the country’s second-in-command.
Instead, he has pivoted towards a post-impeachment exit package.
Presiding Judge Justice Eric Ogolla, leading a high-profile three-judge bench [comprising Justices Eric Ogolla, Anthony Mrima and Freda Mugambi], laid bare Gachagua’s expansive demands during ongoing constitutional proceedings.
Despite being ousted by Parliament following a bitter political fallout, Gachagua’s legal team argued that his compensation package should match the elite privileges typically reserved for retired, un-impeached state officers.
According to official court filings and the presentation by the three-judge bench, here is the complete, extensive list of demands Rigathi Gachagua is seeking as a compensation package:
Financial and monetary payouts
Ksh42,000,000 – total salary compensation
Ksh22,800,000 – gratuity payment
Ksh14,000,000 – lump-sum retirement payment
Ksh980,000 – monthly lifetime pension
Ksh700,000 – airtime allowance
Ksh180,000 – monthly fuel allowance
Vehicles

1 Heavy-duty 3000cc vehicle – for personal travel
Domestic and personal staff enlistment
2 dedicated cooks
2 professional cleaners

1 Personal Assistant (PA)
Security, travel and health privileges
