Senate challenges rights violation, Sh50m award in Gachagua impeachment case

The Senate has turned to the Court of Appeal to contest the High Court's ruling that Kenyan senators violated former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's right to a fair hearing during his impeachment trial. Additionally, the Senate is contesting the Sh50 million in constitutional damages granted to Gachagua for the rights violation.

This appeal follows a month after Gachagua lodged his own appeal, challenging most of the High Court's judgment, including its decision to confirm his impeachment and the appointment of Prof Kithure Kindiki as his successor, while keeping intact the findings on his rights infringement and the Sh50 million damages award.
