The impeachment trial against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua took an unexpected halt on Thursday after the DP failed to show up during the afternoon session.
Gachagua was scheduled to take the stand in the afternoon session.
However, his legal team, led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, said they had received information that the DP has been taken ill and is currently admitted to the hospital.
“The sad reality is that the DP has been taken ill and is currently in hospital. That is the sad reality,” Muite said.
Muite requested the Senate Speaker Amason Kingi to provide his legal team time to monitor the progress of the DP
“My proposal is that you give me the rest of the day to have an assessment of the DP situation and come back by 5 pm after seeing him and speaking to the doctor,” Muite said.
