Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dropped a petition he had previously threatened to submit today for the removal of High Court Judge Esther Maina.
The DP explains that he has decided to give chance talks between President Ruto and Chief Justice Martha Koome.
At least four days ago, the DP has threatened to lead a match to Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in a bid to present a petition for the removal of Judge Maina who he claims wrongly judged him and branded him a criminal.
“Next Thursday I will personally walk to JSC and present a petition for Judge Esther Maina to be removed from office.
She claimed I’m a criminal and my hard-earned money is from criminal activities even before investigations were complete. Later when the case was dismissed, she went ahead and forfeited my KSH. 200M to the state,” DP Gachagua said last week.
