In a statement to the National Assembly, Speaker Moses Wetang’ula said, “I have received a message from the president regarding the nomination of Professor Kithure Kindiki to fill the vacancy which has occurred in the office.”

Gachagua was impeached on five out of 11 charges, including gross violation of the constitution and incitement of ethnic hatred. He has denied the allegations, labeling them as politically motivated.
