In a heated Senate session, Kibwezi MP Mwengi Mutuse faced a tough evening as Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s legal team, led by Elisha Ongoya, subjected him to intense cross-examination. The session was part of ongoing legal proceedings, where Mutuse provided evidence-in-chief against the Deputy President.
Ongoya, known for his sharp legal skills, worked to discredit Mutuse’s testimony, casting doubt on his statements in a pointed line of questioning. The exchange saw Mutuse, who had earlier testified confidently, come under pressure as Ongoya meticulously challenged his claims, attempting to weaken the case against Gachagua.
The courtroom drama did not go unnoticed, with media personality Maina Kageni taking to social media to comment on the proceedings. In a post, Kageni praised Ongoya’s legal prowess, saying, “Elisha Ongoya, you are a brilliant lawyer! I learnt why a lot of lawyers earn their money!” He also took a light-hearted jab at Mutuse, asking, “Mutuse umerecover?”
The proceedings have drawn significant public interest, with many closely following the Senate’s handling of the matter. The case is seen as a high-stakes legal battle with potential implications for Deputy President Gachagua’s political standing.
Mutuse, after facing the intense scrutiny, has yet to publicly respond, but the cross-examination has undoubtedly added another layer of complexity to the ongoing case. The Senate hearings will continue, with more witnesses expected to take the stand in the coming days.
