Gachagua is suffering chest pain and is currently admitted to Karen Hospital.
The DP emergency came a few minutes as he was expected to take the witness stand.
Gachagua’s lawyer Paul Muite has recently confirmed that the DP is currently admitted to Karen Hospital..
According to Muite, the second in command is suffering intense chest pains.
Rigathi Gachagua was rushed to hospital just minutes after he was set to take the witness stand.
“The sad reality is that the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya has been taken very sick, and as I address Mr Speaker and this House, he is in the hospital.”
This came after his disappearance at the Senate was noticed as the House resumed for the afternoon session.
“The DP was going to take the stand. We came in here, I communicated the programme for the afternoon, and I said we are going to execute it with military precision owing to the fact that we needed to conclude business today. SC Paul Muite indicated that he cannot get hold of his client, that is not the concern of this house, so time is running out. The floor is available to the DP and no other Senator.”
The DP was expected to take the stand as his own witness in his impeachment case where he has been accused of 11 charges.
