Embattled Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has officially pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges presented against him by the National Assembly during the Senate impeachment proceedings. Facing accusations that include abuse of office, corruption, and gross misconduct, Gachagua firmly denied the claims, maintaining that the charges are politically motivated.
The Senate hearing, which has drawn nationwide attention, is expected to intensify as both sides present their arguments. Gachagua’s legal team remains resolute in defending him, asserting that the evidence against him is insufficient.
The Deputy President’s fate now lies in the hands of the Senate, with the proceedings set to continue in the coming days. The outcome could have major political ramifications, particularly within the Mt. Kenya region and national leadership circles.
