National Assembly Extends Gachagua Impeachment Public Participation After Court Ruling
The National Assembly has extended the public participation period on the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to Saturday, following a court directive.
Initially, the exercise was conducted on Friday at 47 centers across all counties. However, a ruling by Justice Richard Mwongo from the Kerugoya High Court mandated Parliament to expand the exercise to every constituency across the country.
In his ruling, Justice Mwongo stated that while the public hearings scheduled for today, October 4, may proceed as the first stage, the respondents must organize similar hearings at the constituency level. This move aims to ensure that constituents of MPs involved in the impeachment process can engage directly and provide their input at the grassroots level.
