During the hearing, Senate Clerk Jeremiah Nyegenye reportedly questioned the accuracy of the medical documents presented before the court, arguing that the report contained major errors regarding the length of Gachagua’s hospitalisation.
According to Nyegenye, the medical report incorrectly indicated that the former Deputy President had been admitted in hospital for 31 days, while official records available to the Senate allegedly showed he was hospitalised for only three days.
The Senate Clerk told the court that the discrepancy raised serious concerns about the credibility and reliability of the documents being relied upon in the case.
He argued that such inconsistencies could potentially mislead the court if they were not properly clarified or corrected.
The issue reportedly emerged during the court’s examination of documents connected to Gachagua’s legal challenge against processes undertaken by the Senate.

Lawyers following the proceedings indicated that the contested medical report could become a significant factor in determining how the court evaluates evidence submitted by both sides.
Nyegenye further maintained that the error was not a minor clerical mistake and urged the court to carefully scrutinize the authenticity of all records presented in the matter.
The revelation triggered tense exchanges between legal teams representing the Senate and those acting for Gachagua.

Lawyers representing the former Deputy President are expected to explain the discrepancy and defend the validity of the medical documents submitted before the court.
Legal analysts observing the proceedings say the dispute over the medical report could influence how the court interprets claims regarding Gachagua’s health condition and his ability to participate in earlier legal and Senate proceedings.
The case continues to attract significant public and political attention due to the high-profile nature of the former Deputy President’s legal battles and the broader political implications surrounding the Senate processes under challenge.
Observers note that credibility of documentary evidence often plays a critical role in politically sensitive court matters, making the accuracy of medical records especially important in the ongoing proceedings.
The court is expected to continue receiving submissions from both parties before issuing further directions regarding the disputed documents and other legal issues raised during the hearings.
As the matter unfolds, political leaders, legal experts, and members of the public continue closely monitoring the case, which remains one of the most closely watched political legal battles in the country.
