As Wetangula Plans to Impeach President Uhuru kenyatta What are the grounds for Impeachment

Much had been said about the planned impeachment motion by Moses Wetangula against President Uhuru Kenyatta.although the grounds and reasons For Impeachment still seem flimsy and unreliable there is always a possibility that Once such a motion has been moved against you anything can happen.Let us take few minutes and analyse the possible scenario if in case he is serious about it..according to the constitution:

• What are the legal grounds of Impeachment?

(a) on the ground of a gross violation of a provision of this Constitution or of any other law;

(b) where there are serious reasons for believing that the President has committed a crime under national or international law; or

(c) for gross misconduct.

• What is the due Process for Impeachment?

1) A member of the National Assembly, supported by at least a third of all the members, may move a motion for the impeachment of the President

(2) If a motion under clause (1) is supported by at least two-thirds of all the members of the National Assembly --

(a) the Speaker shall inform the Speaker of the Senate of that resolution within two days; and

(b) the President shall continue to perform the functions of the office pending the outcome of the proceedings required by this Article.

(3) Within seven days after receiving notice of a resolution from the Speaker of the National Assembly--

(a) the Speaker of the Senate shall convene a meeting of the senate to hear charges against the President; and

(b) the Senate, by resolution, may appoint a special committee comprising eleven of its members to investigate the matter.

(4) A special committee appointed under clause (3) (b) shall --

(a) investigate the matter; and

(b) report to the Senate within ten days whether it finds the particulars of the allegations against the President to have been substantiated.

(5) The President shall have the right to appear and be represented before the special committee during its investigations.

(6) If the special committee reports that the particulars of any allegation against the President –

(a) have not been substantiated, further proceedings shall not be taken under this Article in respect of that allegation; or

(b) have been substantiated, the Senate shall, after according the President an opportunity to be heard, vote on the impeachment charges.

(7) If at least two-thirds of all the members of the Senate vote to uphold any impeachment charge, the President shall cease to hold office.

With the above background information it is simply easy to predict that Wetangula is only trying to impress his poor supporters  as we all know..tyranny of numbers has been evident in both house with Cord being unable to pass a single Motion without the Support of Jubilee Legislators.In an event(Impossible)Where the president is out of office his Deputy will be the President for the remaining term...this might be a good thing to the deputy who people believe has to be the Country"s CEO to avoid ICC...So in short cord can link up with URP senators who would think that 2022 is too far For Ruto to Ascend to Power.

Here is What Happens When the President Vacates Office as per the constitution

(1) The office of President shall become vacant if the holder of the office--
