One equipped with advanced security measures for private calls, the other serving as a consultation hub for his legal team a process that started at 9AM.
NTV reported that the most striking deviation from tradition is the space reserved for Gachagua during the session. Instead of the usual spot near the entrance, the Deputy President will be seated near the Speakerโs podium, where he is set to address MPs.
This is the same platform where President William Ruto delivers the State of the Nation Address and where Treasury Cabinet Secretaries present the national budget.
Four seats have been reserved beside Gachaguaโs podium for his legal team. Additional seating has been arranged for his lawyers near the section typically reserved for ambassadors.
If any members of Gachaguaโs family choose to attend, special seating arrangements have been made in the section for Speakersโ Guests. His staff from the Office of the Deputy President will also be seated nearby, ensuring close support throughout the day.
The session is set to begin at 9am, but Gachaguaโs moment of reckoning will come later, as he is scheduled to take the floor between 5pm and 7pm. His defence will be keenly observed by the 341 MPs present, whose votes will decide his political fate.
While 291 MPs supported the motionโs progression last week, murmurs of shifting allegiances have surfaced, leaving the outcome uncertain. For the motion to succeed, at least 233 MPsโtwo-thirds of the Houseโmust vote in favour of Gachaguaโs removal.
Gachagua, however, has remained defiant, dismissing the allegations as a political ploy. โThese are fabricated accusations, part of a larger agenda to push me out. The truth will prevail,โ he declared on the eve of the motion. His confidence appears unshaken as he prepares to face Parliament head-on, promising to offer his side of the story to the peopleโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
