Uhuru will no longer chair Azimio parliamentary group amid Jubilee, ODM fallout, lawyer Ambrose Weda
Uhuru will no longer chair Azimio parliamentary group amid Jubilee, ODM fallout as his silence over the matter is in question.
Former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s coalition, Azimio La Umoja, is in danger of collapsing following the Jubilee, ODM fallout on Thursday.
Ambrose Weda, a lawyer, questioned Uhuru’s silence throughout the tempest on Friday, November 11, claiming that the Kenyan peace envoy had already ditched Azimio.
He argued that Kenyatta will no longer chair Azimio parliamentary group meetings as he was held up with his international role, a position offered by his successor, William Ruto.
Weda based his case on threats from Jubilee lawmakers to leave the Azimio coalition due to dishonesty, brinksmanship, and unfair committee membership allocations within the coalition.
“I know that former President Uhuru is out of Azimio. I know he’s out, as he’s now a peace envoy.
“He will not chair this meeting, he’s out.., he’s a businessman, he knows where power is, and he will not confront Ruto. He will quietly leave,” Weda, a panelist on KTN News, stated in a morning show.
The political analyst urged Azimio to hatch new strategies devoid of Uhuru’s influence and input.
“Azimio people should leave Kenyatta alone and sort their divorce peacefully,” he added.
On Thursday, November 10, Jubilee MPs led by Eldas MP, Adan Keynan, and Isiolo senator, Fatuma Dullo, accused ODM of what they termed “political conmanship and deceit in grabbing Parliamentary Service Commission posts.
“We, the leadership of the Jubilee Party in Parliament are saddened by this show of impunity,” nominated MP Sabina Chege said in a joint statement by the legislators.
“We will convene an urgent meeting with our Parliamentary Group to discuss our relationship with our coalition partners,” Sabina added, signaling a looming fallout in the opposition coalition.
MPs who attended the press conference at Parliament Buildings included Senator Abdul Haji (Garissa), Sarah Korere (Laikipia North MP), Ruweida Mohamed (Lamu West), Amos Mwago (Starehe), Aden Daud, and Amina Siyad.
The protest came a day after Azimio’s leadership in the Senate engineered the removal of senator Fatuma Dullo’s name, a member of the Jubilee Party, from the list of the Parliamentary Service Commission.
