Lawyer Urges DP Gachagua To Resign By Wednesday Lunchtime, Explains Why
Lawyer Urges DP Gachagua To Resign while he still can after the courts declined to issue conservatory orders on Tuesday, October 15.
His advise comes after high Court judge Chacha Mwita turned down the DP’s bid to issue conservatory orders on the impeachment process against him.
Mwita, in his ruling, argued that despite the court being fully mandated to intervene in the event of an infringement, the Parliament also had the right to hear and determine the impeachment motion as a state organ.
“Having considered the application and argument by parties, the Constitution, and the precedent, the prayer for the grant of conservatory order is hereby declined,” ruled Justice Mwita.
Outspoken lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi had since urged DP Gachagua step down from his position as DP before his date with the Senate.
He stated,”Hon. RIGATHI GACHAGUA has a very short window to resign. If he wants to have a new lease of life in politics, he must resign before the impeachment motion kicks off in the Senate. If he tries to resign midstream when the impeachment PROCESS is in motion and evidence is table and prosecuted by the representatives of the National Assembly, the Senate will not stop the PPROCESS,”
:It will continue and render judgment, his belated resignation, not withstanding. So, in my respectful view, He must resign by lunchtime tomorrow, at the latest,” he added.
