Because in a presidential system, it is the people themselves, through a plurality of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>their votes, who elect both the President and the Deputy President. The remedy should be limited<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to only the gravest political wrongs. This is because the person to be removed from office came<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to that office through a popular mandate,\u201d Muite told the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He accused both the National Assembly and the Senate of lowering the constitutional threshold for impeachment, thereby trivialising what the Constitution envisages as a solemn and exceptional process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muite further argued that several allegations levelled against Gachagua could have been addressed through other legal mechanisms, including referral to independent statutory bodies, instead of resorting immediately to impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He maintained that impeachment should only be invoked where the alleged misconduct is so serious that it cannot wait for resolution through ordinary legal or electoral processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court also heard that Gachagua is no longer seeking reinstatement as Deputy President. Instead, he is asking the court to quash the impeachment, award him the salary and benefits he would have earned for the remainder of his term, and grant damages for what he terms an unconstitutional removal from office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe quashing, if this court agrees with our submissions, the quashing of the unconstitutional impeachment. Number two, payment of the remuneration he would have otherwise earned, plus, of course, all the benefits as per the law,\u201dMuite argued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muite argued that Parliament treated the impeachment as though Kenya operated under a parliamentary system, rather than the presidential model adopted under the 2010 Constitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14288,"featured_media":800249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,4625,26],"tags":[56730,1981,56734,56735,491,56736,56731,56732,56737,56729,56702,56733],"coauthors":[2156],"class_list":["post-800247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kenya","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-deputy-president-removal-kenya","tag-featured","tag-gachagua-salary-benefits-claim","tag-impeachment-threshold-kenya-constitution","tag-kenya","tag-kenya-political-court-case-2026","tag-kenya-presidential-system-impeachment","tag-milimani-law-courts-gachagua-case","tag-parliamentary-vs-presidential-system-kenya","tag-paul-muite-court-argument","tag-rigathi-gachagua-impeachment-case","tag-unconstitutional-impeachment-kenya"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.7) -
