Gachagua Drops Reinstatement Bid in Fresh Twist

The development was confirmed on Monday, April 27, by his legal team, who told the court that the former DP will now pursue compensation following his impeachment.

Addressing the court during proceedings at the Milimani Law Courts, lawyer Paul Muite said Gachagua is seeking remuneration, damages, and compensation for losses stemming from what he described as an unlawful and procedurally flawed removal from office.

“The petitioner has abandoned the prayer for reinstatement as Deputy President,” Muite told a three-judge bench comprising Justices Eric Ogolla, Anthony Mrima, and Freda Mugambi.

He added, “The core of those prayers can be summarised as the quashing of the impeachment and payment of the remuneration and benefits he would have otherwise earned as provided by law.”
