LIVE | Kenya Senate Debates On Deputy President Impeachment | Rigathi Gachagua Impeachment | N18G Kenya’s senate debates the impeachment of Kenyan Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Gachagua is facing impeachment over corruption and other irregularities including allegations that he supported anti-government protests in June. Kenya’s Senate on Wednesday began debating the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua after the embattled politician lost yet another court bid to stop the process. In a historic move last week, the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, voted overwhelmingly to impeach Gachagua on 11 charges including corruption and abuse of office. The 59-year-old has denied all the allegations and will continue to serve in his role until the Senate decides whether to approve his removal. The upper house began meeting last week, but began a debate on the motion on Wednesday, initially behind closed doors. #kenya #impeachment #KenyanDepu
