In a last-minute dash to slow down his looming removal from office, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked the High Court to stop Parliament from debating the motion for his impeachment, arguing that the same is unconstitutional and based on lies.

In the 144-page petition filed in Nairobi on Thursday, Mr Gachagua also wants the court to halt planned participation on his impeachment until proper mechanisms are put in place in accordance with the law.
