Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua faces 11 charges, including corruption, inciting ethnic divisions and undermining government.

He is accused of acquiring assets worth 5.2bn Kenyan shillings ($ 40 m; 31 m) in the two years since he became deputy president.

An overwhelming majority of MPs in the National Assembly last week voted to approve his impeachment, setting the stage for the trial.
