Plan to Impeach Gachagua Hits Roadblock
Plan to Impeach Gachagua Hits Roadblock after a youth leader filed a petition, urging the court to issue orders barring Members of Parliament from tabling any motion on the deputy president’s impending impeachment.
According to the leader, there was no constitutional framework guiding the impeachment of a deputy president.
He further argued that impeaching DP Gachagua would destabilise the functions of the executive and consequently therefore bar the country’s development
He stated,”We cannot allow the less fortunate, the people who are working for us to be impeached unconstitutionally. We will not allow the executive to be weakened,”
“I have filed a petition against this injustice which is about to happen in the parliament. My petition says there is no impeachment model of the deputy president.”
The petitioner further accused the National Assembly of attempting to supersede its powers by contravening Article 150 of the Kenyan Constitution.
Parliament should now change from playing political gimmicks and should be serious in presenting us, we will be there to clamour for the justice of this nation,” the petitioner claimed.
According to reports, over 116 legislators have already signed the notice supporting the deputy president’s impeachment.
