“The communication received from the minority party with regard to the replacement of Sabina Chege as the Deputy Minority Whip is incomplete. 

National Assembly Speaker has ruled that Deputy Minority Whip Sabina Chege will continue serving in the position after Azimio demanded her ouster but failed to name her replacement. 

Speaking at the house on Thursday, May 5, Wetangula gave Azimio a period of thirty days to replace Chege. 

“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. 

“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,” Wetangula stated.

The National Assembly Speaker at the same time gave the Jubilee Party thirty days to put their house in order regarding the ouster of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta as the party leader. 

“Whereas the Jubilee Party meets the threshold to be recognized as a parliamentary party pursuant to standing order 20 (A1), I am hesitant to invoke this provision given the myriad correspondence received from the party with respect to its leadership and persons authorized to communicate on its behalf to the speaker, I also give them a similar time to put their house in order,” he added.
