A judge has referred five cases challenging the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to Chief Justice Martha Koome, for the appointment of a bench to determine issues raised in the petitions. High Court judge Lawrence Mugambi agreed with Mr Gachagua and other petitioners that the issues raised in the petitions were weighty and should be determined by a three-judge bench. “It is my considered opinion that the issues raised are weighty constitutional questions, hence I am persuaded to refer them to the Chief Justice for empanelment of a bench,” the judge said. Apart from the public participation, Mr Muite has challenged the National Assembly's standing orders, which allow only twelve days for the matter to be dealt with and referred to the Senate. He said the question of public participation was a concluded matter and the court has no jurisdiction to determine the same at this stage.
