Pressure continues to pile on Deputy President Kithure Kindiki after the appellate court threw a spanner in the works in the impeachment case of his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua.
This is after Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka went after Kindiki on Sunday, May 11, as he urged the deputy president to resign following the Court of Appeal's ruling, which effectively cast doubt on the legality of Gachagua's impeachment.
On Friday, May 9, the Court of Appeal found that Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu acted outside her mandate when she assigned judges to listen to petitions regarding Gachagua's ouster.
According to Kalonzo, the appellate court's ruling put the country in a curious situation, asserting that the country had two deputy presidents.
