National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula now has two days to notify his Senate counterpart Amason Kingi within two days, as stipulated in Article 145 (2)(a) of the Constitution.
Kingi will be required to convene a Senate meeting within seven days to consider the charges against Gachagua.
As outlined in Article 145 (3)(b), the Senate may establish a Special Committee of 11 Members to investigate the allegations within this seven-day timeframe. Articles 145 (4)(a) and (b) mandate that this Committee report its findings to the Senate within 10 days.
If at least Two-Thirds of the Senate Members-comprising 67 total, including 47 elected and 20 nominated-vote to uphold any impeachment charges, Gachagua shall cease to hold office, as specified in Article 145 (7).
This means that a minimum of 45 senators must support the Motion to remove the Deputy President from office.
