Africa-Press – Kenya. Nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege has exuded confidence that the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya alliance will bag the Leader of Majority in the National Assembly.
Sabina made the remarks moments after holding talks with ODM leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday afternoon.
“A great afternoon spent with our Azimio Captain Raila Amollo Odinga. As arguments and counter-arguments are made as to the majority in the National Assembly we remain confident that it will sway in our favour,” she said.
“Politics is a game of numbers and we continue to celebrate this man who for several years has spent his life fighting for the lives and freedoms we enjoy today.”
Her comments come hot on the heels of Tuesday’s heated debate in the National Assembly where the Kenya Kwanza Alliance and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition parties both laid claim to designation of majority formation in the August House.
The two political divides differed on the interpretations of Article 108, which guides the House on the election of the Majority Leader.
Legislators from both sides were embroiled in a raging debate moments after National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula revealed he had received three different sets of House leadership from Azimio la Umoja, Kenya Kwanza and Jubilee.
Wetang’ula said the Kenya Kwanza alliance had proposed a lineup of Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah as majority leader, Kilifi MP Owen Baya as deputy majority leader, and South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro as the majority chief whip deputised by Naomi Wago.
On the other hand, Azimio proposed Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi as majority leader and Robert Mbui as his deputy. Suna East MP Junet Mohamed was named as majority whip with Sabina Chege as deputy.
Jubilee Party fronted Mbalambala MP Shurie Abdi Omar as majority leader, Samuel Arama (Nakuru Town West) as a whip and deputised by Sarah Korere (Laikipia North), while Eldas MP Adan Kenyan was fronted as secretary.
