Tribunal Superior mantém impeachment de Gachagua, mas concede indenização de 50 milhões de xelins

Um tribunal composto por três juízes rejeitou o pedido de Rigathi Gachagua contra seu impeachment, ao mesmo tempo em que lhe concedeu 50 milhões de xelins em indenização.

Na segunda-feira, 8 de junho de 2026, o Tribunal Superior manteve a decisão do Senado de destituir o ex-vice-presidente Rigathi Gachagua. Os juízes Eric Ogolla, Anthony Murima e Fridah Mugambi decidiram que o Parlamento seguiu os procedimentos constitucionais ao longo de todo o processo. O tribunal rejeitou as alegações de parcialidade e participação pública insuficiente. No entanto, constatou que Gachagua foi privado de um julgamento justo quando o Senado recusou um adiamento enquanto ele estava hospitalizado, violando, assim, seu direito de ser ouvido. Como resultado dessa violação, os juízes concederam a Gachagua 50 milhões de xelins em indenização a ser paga pelo Senado. Sua destituição do cargo permanece válida, portanto, o professor Kithure Kindiki continua a servir como vice-presidente.
