Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has dealt Rigathi Gachagua's ally, John Methu, a blow after rejecting the Nyandarua Senator's request for a special Senate sitting.
Methu wrote to Kingi in a letter dated December 27, 2024, requesting a Senate sitting to address the recent cases of abductions of government critics. The letter was received by the Senate clerk on December 30.
In his letter, Methu faulted the National Police Service (NPS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for denial of responsibility for abductions.
In a rejoinder, Kingi rejected the request citing non-compliance with Standing Order 33(1), which requires the request to come from the Majority or Minority Leader.
