NAIROBI, Kenya, May 13 \u2014 The impeachment case involving former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua resumes today with the court expected to decide whether renowned cardiologist Dr. Daniel Kibuka Gikonyo will be cross-examined over claims linked to the impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n
The issue arises from an affidavit filed in court touching on an alleged phone conversation between William Ruto and Dr. Gikonyo during the period surrounding Gachagua\u2019s impeachment.<\/p>\n
Dr. Gikonyo had reportedly treated Gachagua at the height of the political and legal standoff that culminated in his removal from office.<\/p>\n
The court\u2019s ruling on whether the cardiologist can be subjected to oral cross-examination is expected to shape the direction of the ongoing case, which has continued to attract significant political and public interest.<\/p>\n
Gachagua is seeking compensation from the State, arguing that he was unlawfully removed from office through a politically-driven process that violated constitutional provisions and denied him due process.<\/p>\n
His legal team maintains that the impeachment process was irregular and failed to meet constitutional standards required for the removal of a deputy president.<\/p>\n
The proceedings are part of a series of petitions challenging various aspects of the impeachment process and its aftermath.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
