Speaking while reading the 11-charges Gachagua is being linked with, Mr Kingi said, “this is an opportunity for Senate to demonstrate its fidelity to the Constitution, it therefore behooves the Senate to maintain integrity and impartiality in this administration of justice and make a determination purely on merit.”
