The Deputy President of Kenya earns a gross monthly salary of KSh 1,227,188
Gachagua was impeached on October 2026
He was to serve upto August 2027
That means for 35 Months he was not to enjoy the salary
What did the court do,
Pole Gachagua you were not given fair hearing
We will have you get paid those 35 months. Thats Ksh 42.9 Million. Na interest ya 7.1 Million.
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
You see Mt kenya people me included brought this problem to a kenya that was going on so well, we need to take the blame, go through the painful process no matter how sickening it is,so that next time our brains will not only be used to cook uji we will activate it and get Kenya a better option so tulieni watu wangu...mwaka ni moja!
During the Moi era, many Kenyans believed that major political decisions were ultimately determined at State House and merely formalized elsewhere.
The judgment of the 3-Judge Bench in the impeachment case of H.E. Rigathi Gachagua has created what may be one of the most profound constitutional crises in modern Kenya.
The Court has found violations of rights. The Court has acknowledged constitutional breaches. The Court has awarded damages for those violations. Yet the Court has simultaneously upheld the process that gave rise to those very violations.
This is no longer about Rigathi Gachagua.
It is about the meaning of constitutional protection in Kenya.
If a citizen's rights can be violated, the violation confirmed by the Court, compensation awarded, and the resulting political action still allowed to stand, then every Kenyan must ask: What is the practical value of the constitutional safeguards we celebrate?
A Constitution derives its authority from consistency, predictability, and public confidence. When judicial findings and judicial outcomes appear to travel in opposite directions, uncertainty replaces certainty and doubt replaces trust.
Today, Kenya is not debating a politician.
Kenya is confronting a constitutional paradox.
And unless that paradox is resolved by higher judicial interpretation, it will remain a question that haunts our legal system, our democracy, and future generations.
Is this jurisprudence?
Or has the country entered the troubling era of Juris Pesa?
Around this time last year, we were at City Mortuary viewing Ojwang's body lying on a slab, with blood visible from his mouth, eyes, and nose. Yet the then Central OCS, Talaam, had told us he was at Mbagathi receiving treatment. 1 yr later no Justice

He ought to win based on the finding that he was denied a fundamental right when his adjournment request was rejected after all senators admitted that he was ill!
The court erred by disregarding this significant finding!
Ongoja; so today High Court has set a precedent that "we infringe" your rights and we pay you?
More like; we will kill you and pay your family?
Sieeeeet
I said it in 2024 when Rigathi Gachagua was impeached by the Senate. The High Court agreed with me today that indeed he was denied a fair trial. A decision that infringe on a litigant's non derogable rights like the right to a fair trial under Article 25(c) can't stand in law.
Under Article 25(c) of the constitution, the right to fair trial is a non-derogable right. So how can the court make quasi constitutional excuses on amorphous grounds in its refusal to set aside the impeachment of Hon Rigathi Gachagua? The Gachagua judgment in my humble opinion is on a shaky, shallow, soggy and sandy soil.
I was arrested this morning together with fellow patriotic Kenyans during our procession to present a petition to the Kenya Wildlife Services against the excision of part of the Nairobi National Park to construct a 1300-car parking lot.
Our national heritage and environment must be safeguarded from greed and unnecessary destruction without public participation.
I don’t like @rigathi’s toxic and petty politics. I’ve disliked it since I found him at the University of Nairobi in 1986 singing “KANU and Moi Juu, Juu Kabisa!”
But as a man who is fully committed to fairness, justice and the rule of law, I believe that the Court’s ruling today was predetermined, is legally unsound and factually faulty. It should be overturned on appeal.
The impeachment of Gachagua was not conducted fairly, was unjustly rushed and was motivated by parochial personal differences with @WilliamsRuto. The court ought to have nullified it.
The arrest of former Chief Justice David Maraga shows how low Ruto’s regime has sunk.
When a government starts arresting former Chief Justices, activists and ordinary citizens for standing up on public issues, it is no longer governing through legitimacy, persuasion or the people’s mandate.
Ruto has lost the people, and what remains is rule by the gun, intimidation and police power. This is how regimes behave when they know the ground has shifted beneath them.
Men,
Keep off women's activities and events,
Especially events organised by feminists.
Your fellow men are busy building the nation, while you are busy in the streets shouting,
"We want women's rights!"
Are you normal?
Don't be a mangina. Women will dislike you.
When the women finish marching, they will turn against you and call you a woman batterer, or one of them will accuse you of sexual assault.

🤣🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is now begging Iran to stop firing missiles at Israel & instead return to negotiations…
Why did he never bother to ask Netanyahu to stop bombing Lebanon & Gaza?
Robert Alai has compensated Fred Ombachi with KSh 500,000 as part of an agreement to settle the defamation case that was before the court. Following the settlement, Ombachi accepted the compensation, agreed to withdraw the case, and formally forgave Alai, bringing the dispute to an amicable end.
