Ruling on constitutionality of 3-judge bench to hear Gachagua's case set for Wednesday

The constitutionality of the establishment of a 3 judge bench by the Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu on Saturday to hear a case in which impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is challenging his ouster will be known on Wednesday afternoon. This is after the impeached DP queried the legality of the Deputy Chief Justice empanelling a three judge bench outside the judicial working hours alleging a plot to deny him the right to a fair trial. This comes as President William Ruto in a petition filed by his lawyers is challenging the jurisdiction of the high court to hear the impeachment case by Gachagua arguing legal matters touching on the presidency is a function reserved for the supreme court by the constitution.
