A civil society group namely Sheria Mtaani and activist Shadrack Wambui have sought to challenge the legitimacy of the impeachment motion against DP Rigathi Gachagua.
Sheria Mtaani through its Advocates, Danstan Omari, Shedrack Wambu and Brian Mabeya raises concerns over procedural fairness and the constitutional rights of the Deputy President amid his impeachment claims.
Justice Chacha Mwita directed that pleadings be served to all parties immediately, with responses required within three days after service.
Further directions on the case are scheduled for October 9, 2024.
In his ruling, Justice Mwita stressed the importance of procedural compliance, warning that failure to adhere to court orders could result in penalties.
“Take notice that any disobedience or non-observance of the order of the court served herewith will result in penal consequences to you and any other person(s) disobeying and not observing the same,” he warned.
