Azimio bipartisan team threatened to frustrate the dialogue retreat in Nakuru over the National Assembly Deputy Minority Whip issue
Azimio bipartisan team threatened to frustrate the dialogue retreat in Nakuru over the National Assembly Deputy Minority Whip issue.
The Azimio coalition is accusing National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula of delaying the effecting of Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje as the Deputy Minority Whip in replace of Nominated MP Sabina Chege.
Speaking on Saturday, October 21, Opiyo Wandayi, the minority leader in the National Assembly, stated that while frustration is one of the coalition’s main grievances, they will not hold discussions with Ruto administration.
“You want us to be pretending to engage in some dialogue in Bomas and yet you are frustrating one of the cardinal issues that are under dialogue which is interference of political parties and multi-party democracy,” said Wandayi.
National Assembly Minority Opiyo Wandayi questioned the delays in replacing Nominated MP Sabina Chege as the Deputy Minority Whip with Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje despite court orders issuing grounds to speedily make the changes.
“Those who went to court on this matter are now running to court to seek further orders to stop the change.You don’t have to be a lawyer to know what games are being played,”Wandayi noted.
Azimio Parliamentary Group resolved to have Mwenje replace Chege as the House Minority Deputy Whip on May 30.

This comes after the Kiambu High Court dismissed Chege’s appeal challenging the Azimio coalition’s decision to remove her from the National Assembly Deputy Minority Whip position.
Justice Dora Chepkwony in her ruling directed Chege to launch her complaint in a proper forum.
She noted that the nominated MP had not exhausted all the avenues in resolving the leadership wrangles pitting her and Azimio.
“The petitioner had not exhausted all the available alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms as provided under the Political Parties Act and hence the court did not have the jurisdiction to hear and determine the petition,” Justice Chepkwony ruled.
