Mahakama ya Juu nchini Kenya imetoa amri ya kusimamisha kwa muda uamuzi wa Seneti wa kuunga mkono kufukuzwa kwa Naibu Rais Rigathi Gachagua. Jaji E.C. Mwita amechukua hatua hiyo akirejelea masuala makubwa ya katiba na umuhimu wa kulinda maslahi ya umma.
Kikundi maalum, kilichoteuliwa na Jaji Mkuu, kimepangwa kusikiliza kesi hiyo tarehe 24 Oktoba.
Itakumbukwa kuwa Bunge la Seneti nchini Kenya hapo jana Oktoba 17 lilipiga kura kwa kauli moja kumvua madaraka Naibu wa Rais Rigathi Gachagua.
Maseneta waliendelea kujadili hoja ya kumuondoa mamlakani licha ya kufahamishwa kuwa Gachagua amelazwa hospitali akiugua maumivu makali kifuani.
Mawakili wake wakiongozwa na Paul Muite waljiondoa katika mchakato huo wakihoji kuwa hawawezi kuendelea bila uwepo wa mteja wao bungeni.
Maseneta walipigia kura hoja zote 11 zilizowasilishwa dhidi ya Bw. Gachagua na hatimaye kuidhinisha hoja tano kati ya hizo.
