Kathiani Member of Parliament Robert Mbui has accused National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula of being biased against Azimio la Umoja allied legislators.
According to Mbui, Speaker Wetangula has favoritism for Kenya Kwanza MPs in the House, particularly after the High Court flagged his declaration that the President William Ruto-led party is the majority.
Speaking to Citizen TV on Thursday, Mbui opined that Wetangula should uphold his arbiter role and veer from showing partiality as legislators convene for House meetings.
“I think that the Speaker should also learn how to respect Members of Parliament. When we had the debate on the first day he was very harsh and in my opinion, fairly disrespectful. As a Speaker you are not supposed to interfere with a member’s contribution,” he said.
MP Mbui further noted that the Azimio la Umoja leaders have withdrawn our membership in the House Business Committee, arguing that Speaker Wetangula’s role will be rendered indefinite since House business cannot be conducted with one political faction in attendance.
“That means we are not participating in dealing with any business of the House. That also means that the House Business Committee collapses because it cannot be operating with one side,” Mbui added.
