10.06.2026The Day Gachagua's Impeachment Verdict Was Called Absurd

The day's editorial focus remained on Rigathi Gachagua's impeachment, with Standard Media repeatedly branding the High Court ruling an 'absurd judgment' that pits lawyers against the judiciary. Former Chief Justice Maraga warned the verdict could taint future impeachment motions, while Sabina Chege insisted Gachagua remains a key political player. By afternoon, the opposition unveiled a 'People's Budget' to counter Ruto's Ksh.4.8 trillion spending plan, as Capital FM reported debt servicing consuming 42% of revenues. Education CS Ogamba dominated morning briefings, refusing early school closures despite unrest and announcing a calendar restructure from 2027. Other threads included the US visa denial for Somali referee Omar Artan, Kuwait's ban on Kenyan domestic workers, and a fatal highway crash.
