La Haute Cour confirme la destitution de Gachagua mais lui accorde 50 millions de shillings

Un panel de trois juges a rejeté la requête de Rigathi Gachagua contre sa destitution, tout en lui accordant 50 millions de shillings de dommages et intérêts.

Le lundi 8 juin 2026, la Haute Cour a confirmé la décision du Sénat de destituer l'ancien vice-président Rigathi Gachagua. Les juges Eric Ogolla, Anthony Murima et Fridah Mugambi ont statué que le Parlement avait respecté les procédures constitutionnelles tout au long du processus. Le tribunal a rejeté les allégations de partialité et d'insuffisance de la participation publique. Il a toutefois estimé que le droit de Gachagua à un procès équitable avait été bafoué lorsque le Sénat a refusé un ajournement alors qu'il était hospitalisé, violant ainsi son droit à être entendu. En conséquence de cette violation, les juges ont accordé à Gachagua 50 millions de shillings de dommages et intérêts, payables par le Sénat. Son éviction reste effective et le professeur Kithure Kindiki continue donc d'exercer ses fonctions de vice-président.
