A three-judge bench has dismissed lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui’s application to suspend the reading of the judgement of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment.

The bench says that the case by Kinyanjui’s client, Enock Aura, is different from the case coming up for judgement.

“My lordships and my lady, I filed an application at the Court of Appeal seeking to arrest the delivery of the judgement of the consolidated petitions,” lawyer Kinyanjui told the court.

“My lordships and my lady, I suggest in constitutional authority of the Court of Appeal that you defer the rendering of this judgement; we can be heard tomorrow because we filed some submissions,” lawyer Kinyanjui submitted.

Application dismissed

In their ruling, Justices Eric Ogola, Freda Mugambi, and Antony Murima on Monday, June 8, 2026, stated that they cannot arrest the judgement since there is no order stopping the reading of the judgement.

“We have made a decision that you will not misrepresent facts; the matter is not before us. The Court of Appeal has cited that matter. If they wanted to stop us, we would drop our pens,” the bench ruled.

“Give us a court order from the Court of Appeal, then we’ll drop our pen. We don’t have anything like that. Lastly, we gave directions at that time we were having this matter,” the court added.

Further, the judges noted that the petitioner sought to be deconsolidated in that matter, and he was given the orders the way he wanted them.

“You took yourself away from these petitions,” Justice Ogola said.

“We said that your matter will be mentioned after today’s ruling, and for the record, and this is the last comment we are making on this issue. Your matter is coming for a mention on June 18, 2026,” Judge Ogola added.
