A three-judge bench will deliver its ruling on Monday on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's challenge to his removal from office. The judgment will determine whether the impeachment process conducted by Parliament met constitutional requirements. Gachagua spoke during a church service at PCEA Karen on Sunday.
He expressed confidence that the judiciary would rule in his favour. "I believe justice will prevail," Gachagua said. He maintained that he was prepared to continue pursuing legal avenues should the court fail to overturn the impeachment.
Gachagua is seeking to have the impeachment process declared unconstitutional. He argues that due process was not followed during proceedings that led to his ouster from office. Gachagua is also pursuing compensation over his removal.
He insists that the process violated his constitutional rights. The ruling is expected to shape Kenya's political and constitutional landscape, particularly on matters relating to impeachment procedures for senior state officers. AllAfrica reported the details from Capital FM on 8 June 2026.
