Court upholds impeachment
This comes after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua suffered a setback after the High Court upheld his impeachment from office. The judgment was delivered on Monday, June 8, 2026, by Justices Eric Ogola, Freda Mugambi and Antony Murima.
The judges found that Members of Parliament and Senators followed the required process in removing Gachagua from office. As a result, the court declined requests seeking to overturn the impeachment.
“The prayers seeking to quash Gachagua’s impeachment are hereby declined,” the bench ruled.
The court, however, found that parts of the process violated Gachagua’s right to a fair hearing. While the impeachment itself was allowed to stand, the judges ruled that some aspects of the proceedings did not meet constitutional standards on fair trial rights.
As a result, the court awarded Gachagua Ksh50 million in damages. The judges stated that although the constitutional threshold for impeachment had been met, there had been violations relating to the handling of the proceedings.
