What led to Kenya’s deputy president's impeachment? BBC Africa
Kenya has witnessed its first-ever impeachment proceedings against a deputy president, Rigathi Gachagua, who faced serious allegations that saw him permanently barred from holding public office. The accusations included corruption, undermining the authority of the president, and inciting ethnic divisions - all of which he denies. The BBC’s Jewel Kiriungi takes a closer look at how events unfolded.
