The senate has set the date that they will determine Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment.
The Speaker Amason Kingi said after he read the 11 grounds that had been tabled within Kibwezi West Mp Mwengi Mutue’s motion.
He said that the senate would determine the fate of the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua within ten days.
The speaker affirmed that senate would give adequate time for both parties so as no party will complain about inadequate time.
Mr. Kingi has therefore directed the clerk to issue invitations to the Deputy President to defend himself against 11 grounds which should be sent before close of business on Wednesday, October 9th.
The parties will file their responses with the office of the clerk of the senate by October 14th by which the clerk will circulate documents received from the parties the same day.
The matter will then be investigated by the senate with plenary on October 16th and 17th.
This raised concerns to the senate because of the schedule of the two days to investigate Gachagua’s matter to debate Kericho Governor Erick Mutai’s impeachment.
The speaker responded by saying that Gachagua’s impeachment could be extended to Friday if they could not conclude the matter in two days.
The speaker assured the public that the senate would do justice over Gachagua’s impeachment in such a way that there would be zero complaints after the counclusion of the matter.
