The countdown for Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s political fate is in the offing, with the much-anticipated filing of the highly publicised impeachment motion in Parliament.

This is even as the High Court yesterday declined twice to issue interim orders to stop Parliament from processing a motion to impeach Gachagua.

Expectations are that the notice of special motion for Gachagua’s removal, could be filed by an MP from Eastern, who has explained in detail 10 grounds to support this move.

The document has raised questions on DP committing economic crimes, which is against sections of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act and Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act, respectively.
