Nairobi is watching closely this Monday as a three-judge bench prepares to deliver its ruling on the impeachment case brought by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, challenging his removal from office.
The ruling goes straight to the heart of constitutional law in Kenya, with Gachagua contesting the process that saw him removed from the second-highest office in the land. The bench's decision will determine whether that removal stands.
All eyes are on the courtroom. Whatever the judges decide, the outcome is bound to reshape conversations about accountability, due process, and political power in Kenya for a long time to come.
