National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula's woes have deepened after a public petition was filed before the House seeking his ouster.
Nakuru activist Laban Omusundi filed the petition through the Clerk of the Assembly, urging Members of Parliament (MPs) to move a censure motion against Wetang'ula.
Omusundi submits that Wetang'ula has been engaging in political activities that breach the principles of impartiality and independence expected of the Speaker. "The Speaker is supposed to be an arbiter, and he should be involved in politics because it is a disrespect to his office," he submits.
Omusundi claims that Wetang'ula has compromised the independence of Parliament by allegedly acting as an appendage of the Executive.
