By: Chioma Madonna Ndukwu

The High Court in Kenya has issued a temporary order preventing the replacement of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. This ruling will remain in effect until October 24, when a panel of judges, to be appointed by Chief Justice Koome, will further discuss the matter.

The court’s decision comes amid significant political turmoil, as Gachagua faces impeachment challenges. In a statement, Gachagua asserted, “This order is a victory for the rule of law and democracy in our country.” Supporters of the Deputy President believe that the ruling is essential for maintaining stability in the government during these turbulent times.

“We must ensure that due process is followed,” remarked a legal analyst, emphasizing the importance of judicial oversight in political matters. As the situation unfolds, the political landscape in Kenya remains highly dynamic and closely watched.
