Kenya's National Assembly Votes 281-44 to Impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
Oct 8, 2024, 06:24 PM
Kenya's National Assembly has voted to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over allegations of self-enrichment, stirring ethnic hatred, abuse of office, and undermining the government. The motion, which passed with 281 votes in favor, 44 against, and 1 abstention, now moves to the Senate for trial. Gachagua, who denies the charges, faces 11 counts of misconduct. This marks a significant political event in Kenya, as it could lead to the second impeachment in the country's history. The impeachment follows a public fallout between Gachagua and President William Ruto.
