Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. [File, Standard]
Lawyers have torn into the High Court ruling that upheld former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment despite finding the Senate denied him a fair hearing.
A three-judge bench on Monday, June 8, found that Gachagua was not given a chance to be heard by the Senate but upheld his removal from office and awarded him Sh50 million in damages.
Justices Eric Ogola, Anthony Mrima and Freda Mugambi held that there was sufficient public participation in the process and that public remarks by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula and Senate Speaker Amason Kingi did not constitute bias.
