Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has condemned the “selfish” removal of Cleophas Malala as the Deputy Minority leader.
Through a tweet, the Ford Kenya leader stated that the move is against the NASA coalition agreement while ideally linking it to the recently concluded Matungu by-election.
“I condemn the removal of Sen Cleo Malala as Senate D/Minority leader. It is selfish, unhelpful, unlawful, vindictive, intolerant, vengeful and against the NASA coalition Agreement. It has a direct link to the outcome of the Matungu byelection. Bure kabisa!!” Wetangula wrote on Twitter.
