The Senate is set to reclaim its position as the upper house as it gets down to business to dispense with the impeachment trial of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Last week the National Assembly played its constitutional role of pre-trial chamber by finding the deputy president worth to be send home on 11 counts of wrong doing with 281 MPs voting in support of his impeachment as 44 voted against.
The Senate will have the opportunity to determine whether Gachagua is guilty of the 11 charges or not.
The house will this week interrogate each of the charges with several witnesses lined up to testify and answer questions.
