Kenya’s Deputy President Sacked While In Hospital

Kenya’s Deputy President Sacked While In Hospital

Kenyan senators yesterday voted to remove Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from office despite his failure to testify at his impeachment trial after his lawyer said he had been taken to hospital.

In one of the most dramatic days in Kenya’s recent political history, Gachagua had been due to appear in the Senate to defend himself on Thursday, a day after he had pleaded not guilty to 11 charges.

However, Gachagua, popularly known as Riggy G, did not show up and his lawyer requested a postponement, saying his client was suffering from chest pains and was being treated by doctors at The Karen Hospital. Senators chose to continue the trial without him, prompting the defence team to leave the chamber.

The senators’ refusal to delay proceedings until Saturday – as long as would have been legally allowed – shows their determination to oust Gachagua, several months after he fell out with President William Ruto.
