What kind of a human being are you Mr. President, what heart are you made of, Mr. President? “ Malala further noted that Gachagua did not deserve the injustice done on him, especially after he fought to help Ruto win the presidency.  Malala faulted the President for not speaking out and failing to intervene after Gachagua fell ill. “You decided that you will be the last person that will kill the aspirations of our deputy president.

God protect Gachagua and maintain his health. His heart belongs to you, help us. Right now, there is not much I can say. Right now we leave everything to God. We will see him tomorrow.” He was accompanied by Githunguri legislator Gathoni Wamuchomba who also appeared emotional while addressing the press outside the health facility.  Wamuchomba while expressing her dissatisfaction with the impeachment, urged the government to spare Gachagua more woes and let him be and she noted that she has confidence Gachagua would soon get better. “Gachagua will eventually leave the hospital.

But leave him alone and the little he has at his age.”  The former deputy president’s impeachment followed the Senate’s resolution to continue with the impeachment process despite a request by Gachagua’s legal team for the adjournment to October 22 after he was taken ill.

Leave a Comment / PEOPLE /

High Court judge Andrew Mwammunye halts a court hearing related to the Adani deal. This comes after Kenyans stormed the virtual courtroom. The High Court has recently been forced to adjourn its hearing of a case involving Adani Group Limited after Kenyans stormed the virtual courtroom, disrupting the session. Several Kenyans allegedly sneaked into the virtual court proceedings after accessing details of the online court session and began shouting “Adani Must Go! JKIA is not for sale,” prompting the judge to intervene. Despite Justice Andrew Mwamunye’s attempts to call the session into order, his efforts hit the rocks, forcing him to stop the proceedings. The judge has however announced that an appropriate time to reconvene would be announced in due course.  “I understand your protests and I am unable to deliver this judgment now,”  A petition had been filed by activist Tony Gachoka and a group of lawyers where the National Treasury and Adani are the respondent According to the petition, Tony Gachoka challenged the government’s decision to lease the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to the Indian conglomerate. In his suit, Gachoka argued that the Public-Private agreement between President William Ruto’s administration and Adani was reached without adequate public participation.  The petitioners further argued that the country’s main airport was the flagship project of the Kenya Airports Authority and that leasing it to an Indian company owned by a private citizen contravened the law.
