Kenyan Senate Showdown: Can Rigathi Gachagua Overcome Impeachment Odds?"

Rigathi Gachagua, Kenya's Deputy President, is currently facing an impeachment trial in the Senate. This trial follows a vote in the National Assembly last week, where a significant majority supported his impeachment. The process has now moved to the Senate for the final decision.

Analyzing the Charges

Gachagua is facing 11 allegations, which include:

1. Corruption

2. Inciting ethnic tensions

3. Subverting government operations

4. Undermining security agencies

The most significant charge appears to be the allegation that he amassed assets worth 5.2 billion Kenyan shillings (approximately $40 million) within two years of assuming office.
