NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's high court ruled on Friday that a case challenging Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment should be referred to the Chief Justice for further direction.
Kenya's parliament voted on Tuesday to impeach Gachagua on 11 charges including enriching himself and stirring ethnic hatred. The deputy president denied all the allegations and said the case was absurd.
