Drama unfolds in Nairobi as Gachagua faces historic Senate impeachment trials. Can he talk his way out of it?

In a dramatic turn of events, the political landscape in Kenya is ablaze with the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. On October 16, a three-judge bench of the High Court made a pivotal decision, paving the way for the Senate to conduct hearings despite Gachagua's attempts to halt the process. With various allegations including corruption and inciting ethnic divisions on the table, it seems like Gachagua's moment of truth has finally arrived.

As Gachagua arrived at the Senate for his hearing, the atmosphere was quite electric. Even though he denies all allegations thrown his way, the weight of the charges against him is significant. They are serious enough that the Senate comprises a total of 67 members who are now tasked with deciding his fate in this high-stakes scenario. His lawyers and supporters are gearing up for what could become the most talked-about political drama in recent Kenyan history.

Interestingly, as the Senate trial is set to dazzle the public, an order was made to kick the media out of the session, leaving many to wonder what shenanigans could be afoot. Will Gachagua be able to turn the tables and charm his way out of this predicament? Or will the Senate find grounds to vote him out? With whispers of behind-the-scenes deals and political maneuvering buzzing around, it's a soap opera waiting to unfold.

Should the Senate conclude to remove Gachagua, it would mark a historic event in Kenyan politics, as he would be the first Deputy President to be impeached. And in more lighthearted news, imagine the Senate sessions, often characterized by political grandeur, now turning into a courtroom drama with all the theatricsโ€”who knew politics could be this entertaining? Stay tuned as we keep an eye on this nail-biting saga!
