Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will give up lavish retirement perks offered to departing vice-presidents, including a monthly pension equivalent to 80 percent of his last salary, if his impeachment is upheld by the Senate or the courts.

The Retirement Benefits Act provides for withdrawal of the lifetime perks and pay for State officers such as the Deputy President who have “acted in wilful violation of the Constitution.”
