Law is often common sense. Many ordinary Kenyans could see that Gachagua’s impeachment was a hurried political process dressed in legal form. Public participation appeared selective and rushed. When the Speaker’s bench publicly backed the impeachment before its conclusion, questions about fairness were inevitable. We can only hope the courts redeem public trust ahead of the highly charged 2027 General Election, when they may be needed most to resolve political disputes and ease tensions. #JKLive

The High Court avoided to fully confront an impeachment process it found procedurally flawed. You cannot say a Deputy President’s right to a fair hearing was violated, award damages, and then expect the constitutional debate to end there. An appeal is necessary to secure a definitive constitutional precedent for future impeachments. The precedent it sets will outlive today’s politics. #JKLive

As Gladys Shollei says, law is common sense. Our collective common sense is that this impeachment was a rushed political exercise that evaded some legal processes.The public participation exercise for instance appeared selective and generally shambolic to fulfil a constitutional requirement. When a Deputy Speaker says she will impeach a Deputy President before the process is concluded, can the public really be faulted for questioning its fairness? #CitizenDayBreak
