The country is on edge as the impeachment trial of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua continues.
The DP was supposed to present himself to the Senate this afternoon, to defend himself. However, over 40 minutes after he was supposed to be in parliament, Rigathi had not showed up.
Pressured by the Speaker to produce his client, lead counsel Paul Muite soon returned with news that his client, the Deputy President had been taken ill, and in fact hospitalized.
Following request by the defense, Speaker Kingi suspended the session for 1.5 hours, with 5pm being marked as the resumption hour.
That’s all the information we have for now, and this is indeed a developing story..
