The Senate on Thursday voted to continue with the impeachment trial of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in his absence. Kingi had requested the Senate to adjourn the afternoon sitting of Thursday to Saturday, but the senators voted against the proposal. Earlier, the impeachment trial against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua took an unexpected halt after he failed to show up during the afternoon session. Gachagua, who was in the House for the impeachment trial, was a no-show during the afternoon session, raising concerns about his whereabouts. Muite requested the Senate Speaker to provide his legal team time to monitor the progress of the DP.
