Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to challenge the High Court decision that upheld his impeachment, arguing that his constitutional right to a fair hearing was violated during the process.

Speaking on Tuesday, a day after a three-judge bench affirmed his removal from office, Gachagua said he respected the Judiciary but strongly disagreed with the court’s interpretation of the law and its application of the facts surrounding his impeachment.

“We start here today with tremendous respect for the Judiciary of our country. While we respect the ruling of the High Court, we totally and fundamentally disagree on the interpretation of the law and application of facts,” he said.
