Kenya’s Vice President RIGATHI GACHAGUA who faces impeachment has pleaded not guilty to all allegations including corruption, inciting ethnic divisions and support for historic anti-government protests.

His legal team has two days to cross-examine witnesses, as the senate will vote thereafter.

Court rulings this week allowed the parliament and senate to proceed with the impeachment debate, despite concerns over irregularities raised by the vice president’s lawyers.

The 59-year-old politician has called the allegations politically motivated.

The case highlights the friction between the Vice President and President WILLIAM RUTO, something that RUTO once vowed to avoid after his past troubled relationship as vice to Kenya’s previous president, UHURU KENYATTA.
