This comes weeks after National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula gave the Azimio coalition a period of thirty days to replace Chege.

This is after Azimio demanded for her ouster from the house leadership but failed to name her replacement.

“The communication received from the minority party with regard to the replacement of Sabina Chege as the Deputy Minority Whip is incomplete and therefore does not comply with the requirements of standing order 20 (A) of the National Assembly standing orders,” Wetangula stated.

“I hereby grant the Minority party a period of thirty days from today within which to convey appropriate communication of the replacement of its minority whip if it wishes.”
