The urgency with which the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was done is exactly how Kenya's myriad problems should have been handled.

Rigathi's Gachagua's impeachment took less than half the time allowable by the constitution under Article 145. Even quicker was the appointment and approval of his replacement. Under the constitution, the process should have lasted at least over 2 months.
