Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua expressed confidence in the Judiciary in the face of an impeachment motion against him at the National Assembly that is threatening to end his political career.

Speaking publicly for the first time in five days ahead of the debate on a proposed motion for his removal from office on Tuesday,  Gachagua called on independent institutions including Parliament and the Judiciary to uphold the rule of law.

The DP said that he believes that the two institutions will reject any attempts to return the country to the rule of the jungle where key tenets of the Constitution are ignored.
