The Court of Appeal, on Thursday, February 27, issued fresh conservatory orders stopping a three-judge bench from hearing former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment cases, pending determination on May 9.
In light of the new directive, the three-judge bench drawn from the High Court, which comprises Justices Anthony Mrima, Freda Mugambi, and Eric Ogola, is therefore prohibited from proceeding with Gachagua's impeachment cases. "High Court proceedings are stayed to await the determination of these consolidated appeals," Justices Daniel Musinga, Mumbi Ngugi, and Francis Tuiyott stated.
The development comes a day after the Court of Appeal revealed that it would determine the cases challenging Gachagua's ouster in May.
