During court submissions linked to the dispute, Kindiki reportedly questioned why Gachagua’s doctor allegedly waited nearly one and a half years before informing the court about the condition if it was serious and relevant to the matter under consideration.
According to arguments raised by Kindiki’s side, the delayed disclosure creates uncertainty over the credibility and significance of the medical claims now being relied upon in court.
The legal team suggested that if the condition had existed throughout the proceedings, it could have been introduced much earlier.
The issue has since become a key point of debate in the high-profile legal battle that continues to attract national political attention.
Supporters of Rigathi Gachagua, however, defended the move, insisting that health matters remain private and sensitive.

They argued that any medical documents submitted before the court should be assessed professionally and independently rather than being turned into a political issue.
They further maintained that individuals have a constitutional right to medical privacy and that courts should focus on the authenticity and relevance of the evidence rather than the political narratives surrounding it.
Legal experts observing the matter note that medical evidence can sometimes influence court proceedings, especially in cases involving questions of stress, mental fitness, procedural fairness, or personal welfare.

However, they point out that such evidence must satisfy strict legal standards regarding timing, authenticity, and relevance before it can significantly affect judicial decisions.
The exchange between the two sides has added another dramatic dimension to the broader impeachment-related court battles involving Gachagua, which have remained among the country’s most closely followed legal and political developments.
Political analysts say the courtroom arguments also reflect the continuing rivalry and mistrust between factions aligned to the current administration and those supporting the former Deputy President.
