Senate Speaker Amason Kingi announced the impeachment of Gachagua, citing gross violations of the Constitution, including misuse of office, unlawful wealth acquisition and divisive politics. Muite explained, "The Deputy President has been taken sick and is currently in the hospital. Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri became emotional after visiting Gachagua, shedding tears as he expressed his disappointment at the Senate’s decision to proceed with the impeachment despite the deputy president’s absence. "If you are so interested in the deputy president's seat, you can keep it. The High Court has since issued orders halting Gachagua’s removal and the swearing-in of Kithure Kindiki as the new deputy president, pending further court proceedings on October 24.
