Embattled Kenyan Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua on Thursday made a last-ditch attempt to block an impeachment vote against him in the National Assembly, with more than 10 petitions filed in different courts challenging the process.
Members of Parliament are next Tuesday expected to vote on whether the impeachment motion brought to the House by Mwengi Mutuse, a legislator affiliated to President William Ruto’s governing coalition, should proceed to full trial in the Senate.
