Africa-Press – Kenya. Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo has finally been removed as Senate minority whip. Speaker Amason Kingi announced the changes on Thursday afternoon after a month-long standoff that put him at loggerheads with the Azimio senators.
In his elaborate communication, Kingi said that he effected the changes having been satisfied that the minority wing met all the set requirements and the standing orders.
“It is therefore my finding and I hereby rule that senator Fatuma Dullo has been validly removed as Senate minority whip,” Kingi said.
