Heavy security has been deployed at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi as the country awaits the judgment in the impeachment case involving former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Anti-riot police officers were stationed around the court complex early in the morning. They were deployed to maintain order and prevent any disruptions as the high-profile case reaches its final stage.
Lawyers, journalists, and members of the public have gathered outside the court. Security checks have been tightened at all entry points, with movement around the area closely controlled.
The case is still ongoing at the Milimani Law Courts. The three-judge bench is expected to read the judgment later after completing the final preparations.
The bench is composed of Justices Eric Ogolla, Freda Mugambi, and Anthony Mrima. They presided over the hearings that examined the legality of the impeachment process.
The case has attracted nationwide attention due to its political and constitutional significance. It focuses on whether the impeachment followed due process under the law.
The judgment will determine whether the impeachment process was conducted in line with the Constitution or whether it will be challenged further in court.
Supporters and critics of Gachagua are present outside the court. Many are waiting for the ruling while expressing different expectations about the outcome.
Business activities around the Milimani area have slowed down. Roadblocks and security operations have affected movement in and out of the central business district.
Authorities remain on high alert as they prepare for the reading of the judgment. Security teams continue to monitor the situation closely.
Legal experts say the ruling will be a major test of constitutional interpretation in Kenya. It is also expected to influence future impeachment procedures.
The country continues to follow the proceedings closely. The case remains one of the most closely watched legal and political matters in recent years.
