There were heated exchanges in the National Assembly on Tuesday as Members of Parliament debated over the leadership of the Majority and Minority sides.
Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo has called on National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula to step down, arguing that his position as both Speaker and a party leader creates a conflict of interest in the ongoing debate over the Majority and Minority leadership in Parliament.
Speaking on the floor of the House on Tuesday, Odhiambo urged lawmakers to respect court rulings, emphasizing that Wetangula's dual role undermines his impartiality. "I also stand under Standing Order 90, Mr speaker if you look at the judgment of that court, the Courts actually in fact infer that because of the position you hold as Speaker and also as Party Leader of your Party, it is not possible for you to be fair.
You are going to be conflicted when you are conducting the matters of this House," said Odhiambo.
