I am concerned by the Deputy Presidentโs decision to file a last-minute case to block his Senate trial.[โฆ]CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLEโถ
The move raises serious questions about the integrity of our political system and the rule of law. It is disheartening to see that the DP wanted to block the Senate trial, which is a clear violation of the democratic process. The trial is a crucial mechanism for holding public officers accountable and ensuring that they are held to the highest standards of conduct.
I understand that the DP may have valid reasons for his actions, but it is important to remember that no one is above the law. It is the responsibility of all public officials to uphold the principles of democracy and to be accountable for their actions. The attempt to use courts to block the Senate trial is a clear attempt to undermine the democratic process and to avoid accountability.
The Deputy President should respect the democratic process to be held accountable for his actions. It is only through the upholding of the principles of democracy that we can ensure a just and equitable society for all.

The High Court declined to issue a conservatory order to halt the Senate impeachment trial of
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
. This decision, while initially a setback, also unveiled a silver lining for Mr Gachaguaโthe court recognised that his petition raises significant legal and public interest issues.
This acknowledgement is crucial, as it indicates that the Judiciary sees merit in Mr Gachagua’s claims, potentially leading to a more thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding the impeachment motion.
At the same time, Mr Gachaguaโs impeachment reflects deeper issues within Kenya’s political framework, highlighting the challenges of governance, accountability and public trust.
As the situation unfolds, it will be crucial for all stakeholders to navigate this complex political landscape carefully, ensuring that the principles of democracy and justice are upheld. The coming days will be pivotal in determining not only Mr Gachaguaโs political future but also the direction of Kenyaโs governanceโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
