As the impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua gains momentum, he has assembled a formidable team of 20 top lawyers to challenge the proceedings led by several Senior Counsels.

(2) Victor Swanya
(3) Tom Macharia
(4) Amos Kisilu
(5) Elisha Ongoya

The lawyers argue that the public participation process was inadequate, having only been allocated two days, which they claim violates constitutional requirements for citizen engagement.

They seek to contest all allegations against the Deputy President and pursue the recusal of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his deputy, Gladys Boss Shollei, from the impeachment process due to their prior public statements suggesting support for DP Gachagua’s ouster.

The legal team is also prepared to escalate the matter to the Supreme Court if necessary.
