A panel of High Court judges, including Eric Ogola, Freda Mugambi, and Anthony Mrima, is set to rule tomorrow at 3 PM on whether to recuse themselves from three critical cases linked to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment. The cases, assigned to them by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, are at the center of ongoing legal battles following the Senate’s impeachment decision.
The ruling comes amid mounting legal scrutiny, with over 20 court applications challenging the impeachment proceedings. Gachagua, who has secured a temporary order halting the Senate’s resolution, faces intense legal and political pressure. The judiciary, through these cases, will play a crucial role in determining the future of his political career, as various court orders across the country have already sought to intervene in the process.
The recusal decision is key, as it could impact how swiftly the court moves to resolve the complex issues surrounding Gachagua’s removal. This moment is seen as pivotal in both the legal framework and the political landscape, as Gachagua and his legal team prepare for further battles ahead.
