The High Court of Kenya has issued a temporary order to halt the replacement of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following his impeachment by the Senate. Justice E.C. Mwita issued the conservatory order, citing significant constitutional questions and public interest. The court's decision suspends the Senate's resolution and the appointment of Gachagua's replacement until October 24, 2024, when the matter will be heard by a special bench appointed by Chief Justice Koome. This decision provides relief for Gachagua.
