Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has filed a petition at the Milimani Law Courts to suspend his looming impeachment.
Through Swanya and Company Advocates, Gachagua says the motion to impeach him is founded on deceit and misrepresentation of material facts.
These falsehoods, he says, have been peddled to the public so as to achieve an unconstitutional purpose.
He says the motion is a "choreographed political lynching designed to defeat the sovereign will of the Kenyan people expressed at the presidential election held August 2022."
Gachagua has taken issue with the one-day period provided by the national assembly to facilitate public participation during the impeachment process.
He says the time allocated is 'grossly insufficient' to facilitate any meaningful and reasonable public participation and the same should not be allowed to pass.
The DP also says the accusations of corruptly and unlawfully acquiring assets valued at Sh5.7b are unfounded.
He has asked the court to declare that one day isn't sufficient and that such public participation must be undertaken in all the 290 electoral constituencies in Kenya, the diaspora constituency, and 1,450 electoral wards where the presidential election takes place.
Gachagua also sought an order prohibiting the assembly as a whole from processing, passing, and transmitting to the Senate any resolution founded on the notice of motion dated September 26.
The said motion concerns his proposed removal from office by impeachment.
