Kenya's National Assembly has Tuesday evening overwhelmingly voted to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. This is the first time under the 2010 Constitution that the National Assembly has voted to remove a State official from office. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula is expected to notify his Senate counterpart Amason Kingi latest by Thursday of the development. “The Clerk is directed to prepare the necessary documentation to enable this,” Speaker Wetang’ula said shortly after 9pm after announcing the results. The Senate has 10 days to either uphold the decision of the National Assembly or veto it.
