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.

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei tabled a motion in the Senate on May 4, 2026, seeking to audit, reduce, or eliminate state benefits for former President Uhuru Kenyatta over his alleged partisan political involvement, violating retirement laws. The proposal, requiring two-thirds parliamentary support, has sparked backlash from Kenyatta's allies amid ongoing political tensions.

A three-judge bench has set March 19, 2026, as the date for a ruling in a petition seeking to remove Deputy President Kithure Kindiki from office. The case was filed in October 2024 by businessman Aura and concerns the process of appointing Kindiki following the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. The petition claims that the process did not follow the Constitution.

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. He condemned a tear gas assault at his Kikuyu rally and vowed to press on with meetings, while allies criticised police politicisation. Kajiado police denied the claims.

The High Court has halted construction of an affordable housing project in Githunguri, Kiambu, after Kikuyu elders claimed the land holds Mau Mau fighters' graves. Meanwhile, President William Ruto has ordered demolitions at Gusii Stadium and Suneka Airstrip. The moves put billions in public funds at risk.
