Gachagua aondoa madai ya upendeleo dhidi ya majaji wa mahakama kuu

Aliyekuwa naibu rais Rigathi Gachagua ameondoa madai ya upendeleo dhidi ya jopo la majaji watatu wa mahakama kuu. Hatua hii inayotokana na notisi ya Mei 4, 2026, inaelekeza nguvu zake kwenye kesi kuu inayopinga kuondolewa kwake mamlakani.

Kupitia wakili wake Kamotho Njomo, Gachagua aliiambia mahakama kuu kuwa rufaa iliyolenga kubatilisha uamuzi wa mahakama ya rufaa ilipitwa na wakati baada ya mahakama kuu kukataa kusimamisha kesi hiyo.

Jopo la majaji linajumuisha Eric Ogolla, Anthony Mrima na Fredah Mugambi. Gachagua alikuwa amewashutumu kwa madai ya upendeleo na mgongano wa maslahi, lakini mahakama ya rufaa ilitupilia mbali madai hayo Mei 2025.

Mzozo ulianza Oktoba 2024 wakati naibu jaji mkuu Philomena Mwilu alipounda jopo hilo. Mahakama ya rufaa iliamua kuwa alikosa mamlaka chini ya kifungu cha 165(4) cha katiba, na jaji mkuu Martha Koome akaunda upya jopo hilo.

Sasa Gachagua anataka juhudi zote zielekezwe kwenye kesi kuu inayosikilizwa katika mahakama kuu ya Milimani, Nairobi.
