DP Gachagua Hospitalized Midway Through Senate Impeachment Trial

Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya – Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was rushed to the hospital on Thursday during a lunch break at his Senate impeachment trial, Senior Counsel Paul Muite revealed.

While addressing Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, Muite, who leads Gachagua’s legal defense team, informed the Senate that the Deputy President had fallen ill and required urgent medical attention.

“I regret to inform the Senate that the Deputy President was taken ill and is currently hospitalized. I kindly request an hour or two to assess his condition and determine if he can proceed with the trial,” Muite said.

Gachagua was scheduled to deliver his defense statement and face cross-examination by lawyers representing the National Assembly.

The unexpected development caused a delay in the proceedings, with Speaker Kingi acknowledging the unforeseen circumstance.

“Apologies for the inconvenience caused to the Senate and all parties involved. We will await further updates on the Deputy President’s condition before determining how to proceed,” Muite added.

The Senate trial, which had already attracted significant attention, was interrupted as senators awaited news of the Deputy President’s health.

Gachagua faces accusations of constitutional violations, misconduct, and corruption, charges that have stirred a political storm.
