Gachagua seeks to overturn court decision upholding his impeachment

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is seeking to overturn a court decision that upheld his impeachment in June. According to court documents seen by Citizen TV, Gachagua wants findings by a three-judge bench that his removal from office could not be reversed despite violations of his constitutional rights quashed and declared null and void. In the court documents, Gachagua also dismissed the High Court decision that based its failure to undo his impeachment on what it described as “the constitutional absurdity that would arise from dual incumbency.” Gachagua says he only sought a declaration that the impeachment process was invalid, as well as adequate compensation, and is no longer interested in returning to the office of Deputy President.
