The last few days have been quite momentous for former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

This was the week he launched his DCP party, a fairly routine affair.

The previous Thursday, the Court of Appeal had thrown him a bone in his impeachment case.

The court found that the empanelment of the bench that allowed the nomination, appointment and swearing in of Professor Kithure Kindiki had been unlawful and unprocedural.
