This is property that the witness has repeatedly asserted belonged to his brother, Nderitu Gachagua, who passed away.
Using Julianne Jahenda as a proxy to administer the property and serve as its signing agent, Gachagua allegedly attempted to purchase the hotel for a price of 412 million Kenyan Shillings. The witness said that such a transaction took place.
In the course of his defence before the National Assembly on October 8, DP Gachagua denied ownership of the hotel and insisted that a portion of the land belonged to his brother, who had passed away.
One of the four properties under investigation as part of the impeachment motion is the Olive Gardens Hotel.
The other three properties are the Vipingo Beach Resort, Queensgate Apartments, and Langโata Highrise Flats. Gachagua also asserts that his brother was the owner of these properties.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachaguaโs impeachment trial kicks off in the Senate following a ruling from a three-judge bench allowing the proceedings to move forward.
Senate session resumes after an in-camera meeting to prepare for the proposed removal from office.
The National Assembly has approved 11 charges against Gachagua, and the trial will likely last two daysโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
