The DP is set for a crucial battle in the Senate as he faces 11 charges in an impeachment motion including gross violation of the Constitution, gross misconduct and abuse of office.

The embattled DP is now looking to rally at least 23 senators to his side to counter the impeachment threat looming over him.

The purpose of the Friday sittings as read by the Majority Whip will be to consider "priority business", including mediated Bills.

Deputy President has been accused among other counts, persistently made statements threatening to discriminate against sections of the Kenyan population in terms of public appointments and resource allocation.

The three judges said they are being called upon to anticipate the outcome of a process yet to be completed, adding that Gachagua’s application is premature and anticipatory.

Should Gachagua be impeached, Article 149 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 mandates that the President nominate a replacement within 14 days.

He further proposed that the President of Kenya file an affidavit stating whether he has any complaint against Gachagua, and that the petition be subjected to a public hearing accessible to all Kenyans.

Each charge will be voted on individually, and if at least two-thirds of the Senate members vote to uphold any charge, the Deputy President will be removed from office.

Each charge will be voted on individually, and if at least two-thirds of the Senate members vote to uphold any charge, the Deputy President will be removed from office.

Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula had earlier officially communicated to the Senate the resolution on Gachagua’s ouster.

Each charge will be voted on individually, and if at least two-thirds of the Senate members vote to uphold any charge, the Deputy President will be removed from office.

The process is in accordance with National Assembly Standing Orders No. 64 and 65 relating to the procedure of removal from office by impeachment.

Gachagua can still appeal the decision in court if the Senate upholds the National Assembly’s vote.

"Once you append your signature to a Special Motion, you have crossed the rubicon and you cannot withdraw that signature," the Speaker said.

The DP has been assigned two rooms within the complex: one outfitted with advanced security for private calls and another designated as a consultation space for his legal team.

The DP confirmed that he would appear before the National Assembly against what he termed as "outrageous" allegations levelled against him in an impeachment motion.

The Speaker on Tuesday in his communication to the House said that Gachagua should have waited to present his defense directly before the Assembly.

A total of 233 MPs (two-thirds) of all members must support the impeachment motion for it to advance to the Senate, where Gachagua's fate will ultimately be decided.

38 per cent are against the move to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi was ranked second in overall preference for the DP role, receiving support from five per cent of respondents, while Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro came in third, also with five per cent.

Gachagua's legal team has at the same time expressed confidence in their defence strategy, preparing to counter the accusations presented by the mover of the impeachment showdown Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse.

The National Assembly has applied to consolidate all cases filed to stop the impeachment process. According to the National Assembly, the more than 10 cases were all filed by Monday.

“To the MPs, if through our utterances and actions, we have upset or wronged you, find it in your heart to forgive me. To the people of Kenya, if I did anything that you found unacceptable, forgive me,” Gachagua pleaded.

But Justice Mwongo declined to grant conservatory orders to stop the notice of motion to debate the impeachment of the DP.

The Speaker confirmed that in accordance with requirements of articles 47 and 50 of the Constitution and Standing Order 67, Gachagua will be given an opportunity to appear before the House and defend himself.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula confirmed that the motion met the required threshold of 117 MPs and was officially received by the Clerk of the National Assembly on September 27.

Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse formally introduced the impeachment motion against Gachagua in Parliament on Tuesday, citing substantial grounds for his removal from office.

National Assembly Majority Leader and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah has confirmed that the motion will be introduced on the House floor.

Wamuchomba says that the government is using Gachagua as a "sacrificial lamb" to divert public attention from contentious matters,
