Gachagua recorrerá de decisão da Alta Corte que confirmou seu impeachment

O ex-vice-presidente Rigathi Gachagua diz que levará seu caso ao Tribunal de Apelações após a Alta Corte confirmar a decisão do Senado de destituí-lo.

Gachagua fez o anúncio na terça-feira, 9 de junho de 2026. Ele disse que discorda da decisão dos juízes Eric Ogolla, Anthony Mrima e Fridah Mugambi que confirmou sua destituição. O tribunal constatou que seu direito a um julgamento justo havia sido violado e concedeu-lhe uma indenização de 50 milhões de xelins. No entanto, decidiu que as falhas processuais do Senado não anularam a decisão de impeachment do Parlamento. Gachagua afirmou que os princípios da justiça natural foram ignorados e que esgotará todas as vias legais até a Suprema Corte. Ele enfatizou o respeito pelo poder judiciário, embora discorde de sua interpretação da lei.
