Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is banking on the Judiciary for political survival as he faces a make-or-break week with his impeachment trial beginning on Wednesday before the Senate. Speaking on Sunday in public for the first time after the National Assembly voted to impeach him on Tuesday last week, the former Mathira MP said he has confidence that the courts would dispense justice fairly. While commending 44 MPs who voted against the impeachment motion, the DP encouraged leaders to listen to the people. On the other hand, the National Assembly also has an equally strong defence team led by Senior Counsel Paul Nyamodi. In his submission to the National Assembly last week, the DP played several video clips to back-up his defense against the charges.
