today16 October, 2024

Background

On Tuesday, Kenya’s courts refused to halt this week’s Senate vote regarding the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Reuters indicates. This follows last week’s parliamentary decision to impeach Gachagua over allegations of stirring ethnic hatred, embezzlement, and undermining the government. The Senate is set to debate his potential removal from office on Wednesday and Thursday. Despite several legal challenges, the impeachment process continues unabated.
