Gachagua remains in Karen Hospital, security scaled down

Doctors had initially informed the press that the DP would be admitted for 48 to 72 hours as they monitored his progress. 

The medical team continues to provide Gachagua with the much-needed medical attention as they monitor his progress. 

They have also restricted access to only a given timeframe to provide the embattled DP with the required rest. 

A spot-check by Citizen TV revealed that the heavy security presence that was at Karen Hospital on Thursday has now been scaled down. This is due to the impeachment that was upheld by the Senate on Thursday. 

A court order, however, suspended the Senate impeachment, throwing a spanner in the works for Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to assume the DP's office. 

Leaders such as Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka have called for the government to reinstate Gachagua's security as he remains the country's second in command. 

"The last line of defence in this country now is our Judiciary. When we were attending this funeral service here, we learnt that Justice Chacha Mwita has issued conservatory orders suspending the decision of the Senate to impeach Gachagua last evening,” Kalonzo said on Friday.
