Kenya’s deputy president faces impeachment and pleaded not guilty in a senate hearing Wednesday to all allegations including corruption and support for anti-government protests that saw demonstrators storm the country’s parliament.

Kenya's senate began impeachment hearings against Kenya's deputy president on Wednesday, hours after a court said the proceedings were constitutional, clearing the way for a vote on his dismissal this week.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan court on Tuesday declined to stop this week's Senate debate on whether to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from going ahead, a video clip of the ruling showed.
