The National Assembly is set to debate on the impeachment motion of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
MPs will go through the 11 charges leveled against the DP, starting from 9 am.
The motion, which was tabled on October 1, was presented by Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse.
The bid was supported by 291 MPs, way over the threshold of the 117 MPs required.
The lawmakers are expected to take a vote later on after debating the grounds of impeachment.
