Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will face the Senate for his impeachment trial after a High Court sitting in Nairobi declined to issue conservatory orders.
Justice Chacha Mwita in his ruling on Tuesday allowed the impeachment trial to proceed.
Gachagua is set to face the National Assembly at the Senate where the charges pressed against him will be heard.
Gachagua maintained that the impeachment exercise is politically motivated and expressed confidence that the judiciary would deliver a fair ruling.
Gachagua’s lawyers, Senior Counsel Paul Muite and lawyer Tom Macharia on Monday asked Justice Chacha Mwita to issue orders to stop Gachagua’s impeachment.
