Gachagua awarded Sh50 million but court upholds impeachment process.[Courtesy, Standard]
Many unpalatable adjectives have been used by lawyers to describe the High Court decision on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment case.
Donald Kipkorir has termed it 'judicial absurdity', and Ahmednasir Abdullahi has accused the court of making 'quasi-constitutional excuses'. Former LSK chair has termed the decision 'judicial gymnastics' while lawyer Ndong Evance has described it as 'judicial nonsense'.
These are strong words and express the lawyers' disgruntlement with the decision of the three-judge bench on Monday. And they have good reasons to be disappointed.
