Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was rushed to hospital this afternoon after reportedly falling ill shortly after the Senate resumed its sitting following the lunch break.

Sources within the Deputy President’s lawyers confirmed that Gachagua began feeling unwell during the Senate meeting, prompting his security team and aides to swiftly escort him out of the chambers for immediate medical attention. He was taken to a nearby Nairobi hospital, where doctors are currently assessing his condition.
