Khaminwa Interrupts Gachagua Impeachment Hearing With Hilarious Exit Request
Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment hearing at the High Court in Nairobi was on Tuesday evening treated to humorous moments when Senior Counsel John Khaminwa asked the court to let him leave.
Khaminwa who has been subject of debates over his ability to articulate legal arguments despite his old age, asked the judges presiding over the impeachment case to let him leave the chambers as he had other matters to attend to.
“I am on high demand so I beg to leave the court since I beg to leave the court and go deal with other matters ,’’ Khaminwa implored the court amid laughter from other lawyers.
Ironically, The judges did not comment or issue a directive in regards to the veteran’s request, before he walked out of the chambers to attend to his other matters.
Earlier, before the Court adjourned for the lunch break, the attorney caused a light moment at the courts when he delivered a message to the Attorney General Dorcas Oduor during his submissions.
Khaminwa claimed that it was possible that President William Ruto too would be impeached if the judges presiding over the matter okayed Gachagua’s ouster.
“If the Attorney General were here, I would tell her very plainly: those who want the Deputy President out, let’s assume he is removed, they will be the same people who will come and say, ‘President Ruto, you must go’. That will be opening chaos in the country,’’ Khaminwa stated.
