The fate of impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua hangs in the balance as a three-judge bench convenes today to hear a petition challenging the nomination of Kithure Kindiki as the Deputy President-designate.<\/p>\n
The bench, comprising Justices Eric Ogola, Anthony Mrima, and Freda Mugambi, will determine whether to vacate or extend conservatory orders that have restrained Kindiki from assuming office.<\/p>\n
The State, through the Attorney General, is seeking to have the order obtained by Gachagua\u2019s legal team lifted to allow Kindiki\u2019s swearing-in.<\/p>\n
The case was referred to the three-judge bench by Kerugoya Judge Richard Mwongo, who initially issued the conservatory orders halting Kindiki\u2019s assumption of office pending today\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n
The bench has scheduled the hearing for 11 a.m. in open court.<\/p>\n
