Gachagua retira alegações de parcialidade contra juízes do Tribunal Superior

O ex-vice-presidente queniano Rigathi Gachagua retirou as alegações de parcialidade contra três juízes do Tribunal Superior. A medida, descrita em um comunicado de 4 de maio de 2026, redireciona os esforços para o processo principal que contesta a sua destituição do cargo.

Por meio do advogado Kamotho Njomo, Gachagua informou ao Supremo Tribunal que um recurso que buscava anular uma decisão do Tribunal de Apelação tornou-se inócuo após o Supremo Tribunal ter se recusado a suspender os procedimentos do Tribunal Superior.

O painel é composto pelos juízes Eric Ogolla, Anthony Mrima e Fredah Mugambi. Gachagua os havia acusado de parcialidade e conflito de interesses, mas o Tribunal de Apelação rejeitou essas alegações em maio de 2025.

A disputa começou em outubro de 2024, quando a vice-presidente do Supremo Tribunal, Philomena Mwilu, constituiu o painel. O Tribunal de Apelação decidiu posteriormente que ela não tinha autoridade sob o Artigo 165(4) da Constituição, o que levou a presidente do Supremo Tribunal, Martha Koome, a reconstituí-lo adequadamente.

Gachagua agora quer que todos os esforços sejam direcionados ao processo principal que está sendo julgado no Tribunal Superior em Milimani, Nairóbi.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has renewed criticism of the National Police Service for alleged political interference and failing to honor recent commitments. He accused Inspector General Douglas Kanja of reneging on assurances given last week to remain apolitical and respect assembly rights. Gachagua claimed the promises were short-lived as police blocked his entry into Nakuru County.

Rigathi Gachagua, DCP leader, accused the government of reviving a special 12-officer police unit—previously blamed for a January church attack—to disrupt opposition ahead of 2027 polls.
