Is DP Rigathi Gachagua Truly Ill?  Impeachment Hearing Takes a Shocking Turn

**Breaking News: DP Rigathi Gachagua Taken Ill During Senate Impeachment Hearing**

In a dramatic twist to the ongoing impeachment hearing of Deputy President H.E Rigathi Gachagua, the DP has been taken ill just minutes before he was expected to take the witness stand. The impeachment motion, which was moved by MP Mwengi Mutuse, has been unfolding in the Senate, but today’s proceedings took an unexpected turn after the DP’s sudden illness.

Gachagua, who has been present in the Senate since morning, did not return after the lunch break. His senior counsel, Paul Muite, revealed that the DP had been rushed to the hospital, sparking widespread speculation and raising several questions. Is the Deputy President genuinely unwell, or is he avoiding facing the Senate? Could this be a strategic move to pre-empt the Senate’s decision, expected later today?

The impeachment motion, which consists of 11 charges, has been facing challenges since yesterday. Observers noted that MP Mutuse, the mover of the motion, has struggled to present strong and credible evidence to support his case against the DP. Many had begun to speculate that the Senate might rule in Gachagua’s favor.

With today’s sudden development, the Senate has suspended its hearing to allow Gachagua’s legal team to confirm the nature of his illness. The nation waits anxiously for further details, as this unexpected turn has left many Kenyans wondering what will happen next. Will the impeachment motion proceed, or could the DP’s health throw the entire process into uncertainty?

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story. The next few hours will be crucial in determining the outcome of this political drama.
