The hearing of three petitions challenging the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua, and an application to lift an order blocking his replacement by Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, has been pushed to this afternoon at 2pm.

This is after Mr Gachagua’s lawyers, led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, protested the appointment of the bench by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, to determine the applications filed by the Attorney-General and Parliament.
