Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua has appealed against the decision to forfeit Sh202 million in his account to the government.

In the notice of appeal filed through lawyer Kioko Kilukumi, the MP, who is also United Democratic Alliance presidential candidate's running mate, said he was not satisfied with the High Court's ruling that he acquired the money through corruption. He wants the Court of Appeal to overturn the decision.
