The Senate has voted to proceed with the impeachment trial of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, despite an earlier request for adjournment due to his illness.

This decision prompted Gachagua’s defence team, led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, to walk out of the session.

Senators reject adjournment request

The Senate, in a vote held on Thursday, opted not to adjourn the trial to Saturday, October 19, , as requested by Gachagua’s legal team.

The defence had asked for the postponement to allow the Deputy President time to recover from his health condition, as he has been admitted to Karen Hospital with intense chest pains.

Gachagua's lawyer, Paul Muite, had earlier informed the Senate that the Deputy President was unable to participate in the trial due to medical advice, which required him to have complete bed rest.
