08.06.2026 ⇢ The Day Gachagua's Impeachment Was Upheld
⌨
The day's editorial focus was dominated by the High Court's ruling on Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment. From early morning, outlets anticipated the verdict, with live blogs tracking proceedings. By afternoon, the three-judge bench declined to defer and proceeded with judgment, ultimately upholding the ouster on six determinations but awarding Gachagua KSh50 million for fair hearing breaches. This climaxed days of buildup, shifting attention from earlier stories like the Utumishi Girls fire and school unrest. Concurrently, former Chief Justice David Maraga's arrest during a Nairobi National Park protest emerged as a secondary focal point, covered widely by mid-morning. President Ruto's European tour, securing digital investments and pitching clean energy, featured in later updates but did not displace the impeachment narrative.
