The Supreme Court has dismissed an attempt by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to halt ongoing High Court proceedings challenging his impeachment, allowing the matter to continue. The Supreme Court, however, dismissed all his requests. On the stay of proceedings, the Court noted:“By necessary and logical reasoning, only proceedings before the Court of Appeal can be stayed by this Court. On the matter of costs, the Supreme Court ruled that, given the public interest nature of the case, there would be no orders as to costs. The decision means that the High Court proceedings arising from Gachagua’s impeachment are now expected to resume.
