Impeachment of the Deputy President in Kenya Under the 2010 Constitution.

Under Kenya's 2010 Constitution, the Deputy President can be removed from office under specific circumstances as outlined in Article 150. Impeachment may occur if the Deputy President is found to have committed a gross violation of the Constitution or other laws, or if they have committed a serious crime under either national or international law. Additionally, impeachment can be pursued if the Deputy President engages in gross misconduct that undermines the authority of their office or is deemed physically or mentally incapable of carrying out their duties.

The impeachment process begins when a member of the National Assembly introduces a motion, which requires the backing of at least one-third of the Assembly members. A special committee is then formed to investigate the charges. If the findings support the claims, the motion is brought to a vote in the National Assembly, requiring a two-thirds majority for passage.

If the motion passes, the Senate steps in to hold a trial. A Senate committee conducts its own investigation and presents recommendations, giving the Deputy President an opportunity to defend themselves. The impeachment is finalized if two-thirds of the Senate vote to remove the Deputy President from office. This process is aligned with the impeachment procedures for the President.
