Lawyer Kibe says a Chicken Thief Got More Justice Than Gachagua in Impeachment Process

Описание: Lawyer Kibe Mungai mounted a dramatic constitutional challenge against the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, arguing that Parliament turned impeachment into a political weapon rather than a constitutional safeguard. In submissions before the court, Kibe argued that the motion led by Mwengi Mutuse failed to meet the constitutional threshold required to remove a senior state officer and was instead driven by political revenge and procedural abuse.

According to the lawyer, most of the allegations raised against the Deputy President were political disputes and minor ethical disagreements that could not justify such a drastic constitutional action. Kibe further drew parallels with the impeachment of former U.S. President Bill Clinton during the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal, arguing that private morality and political disagreements should not automatically amount to impeachable offenses. He urged the court to protect constitutionalism and prevent impeachment from being reduced to a partisan political punishment tool.
