Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will face the full House of the Senate as he fights attempts to remove him from office through impeachment.

Speaker Amason Kingi ruled Wednesday that the trial for the removal of the Deputy President will be conducted by the plenary after a motion to establish an 11-member special was withdrawn for lack of a seconder.

Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot had the moved the motion but the deputy Majority Whip Edwin Sifuna refused to second the motion when called upon, forcing the Speaker to withdraw the motion.
