Two Senators allied to ousted Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua sensationally claimed that there was massive behind-the-scenes lobbying on Thursday to influence the outcome of the impeachment process at the Senate.

Nyandarua Senator John Methu claimed that there was a never-before-seen lobbying, which also involved colossal amounts of money, of up to Sh10 million to vote for Gachagua's removal, at the expense of a fair trial.
