fresh court documents have just landed—challenging an attempt to silently bury the legal battle surrounding the controversial impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The stakes? Nothing less than the future of justice, transparency, and the very soul of our constitutional order.
🚨 Legal Earthquake at the High Court
Advocate Kelly Maleya has stormed the High Court with an urgent plea: Don’t let them silence the people’s voice.
He wants to take full control of a series of petitions that questioned the legitimacy of Gachagua’s dramatic ouster from Kenya’s second-highest office.
Why? Because, according to Maleya, this is no longer about Gachagua alone.
“This is a matter of public interest,” he insists, “and the court must hear the truth—no matter how inconvenient.”
⚖️ Ghosts of Impeachment Resurface
In a surprising move last week, Gachagua’s own legal team attempted to withdraw the very lawsuits he had filed to stop Parliament’s push to remove him.
At the center of those petitions? Eleven explosive accusations that had the nation holding its breath back in October.
But after being impeached, Gachagua called off the legal dogs, saying “events had overtaken the matter.”
Now, Maleya says: Not so fast.
He argues that dismissing those cases would set a dangerous precedent—allowing powerful figures to erase uncomfortable legal records simply because they’re no longer politically useful.
🔥 Judiciary Under Fire
Adding fuel to the fire, the Court of Appeal has just slammed the brakes on an earlier ruling by Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu.
Mwilu had controversially formed a special three-judge bench to hear one of the petitions tied to Gachagua’s impeachment.
But in a stunning reversal on May 9, 2025, appellate judges declared that only Chief Justice Martha Koome had the authority to make such appointments—effectively invalidating the entire bench.
Now the entire case has been thrown into limbo.
And the message is clear: The judiciary itself is now under the microscope.
👀 Eyes on the Chief Justice
All parties have now been told to stand down until further notice from the Chief Justice.
The High Court has suspended hearings. Assistant Deputy Registrar Beja Nduke confirmed this just last week.
As the nation waits, one thing is certain:
The battle is far from over.
🤯 Public Reacts: “What Are They Hiding?”
Kenyans online are already asking the hard questions:
“Why cancel the petitions now?”
“Who benefits from silence?”
“Is justice being delayed… or denied?”
From Kibera to Karen, Mombasa to Bungoma, the tension is palpable.
And if the court grants Maleya the right to carry these petitions forward, we could be headed for one of the most dramatic legal showdowns in Kenyan history.
