Jubilee Threatens To Leave Azimio
A section of Jubilee MPs led by Sabina Chege have threaten to quit Azimio over PSC position. This follows after Senate Minority Whip Fatuma Dullo was replaced by Senator Okong’o Omogeni in the Parliamentary Commission!
The lawmakers led by Nominated MP Sabina Chege stated that Jubilee got the short end of the stick in the sharing of Parliamentary Service Commission slots available for the opposition faction.
She protested a last-minute decision to alter the list of nominees to the Parliamentary Service Commission which saw Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo of Jubilee axed and replaced by Nyamira Senator Okong’o Omogeni of ODM.
The disagreement arose after the Azimio Senators withdrew Isiolo’s Fatuma Dullo from its list of nominees for the powerful Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), replacing her with Nyamira Senator Okong’o Omogeni.
Members of Jubilee Party accused ODM of mistreatment and isolation when it came to party nominations
“The decision taken by the Senate, therefore, negates the democratic space of political parties in Parliament as the net effect of the decision taken by the Senate rendered two slots to the Orange Democratic Movement Party,” Sabina Chege stated during a press conference.
According to Chege, Azimio la Umoja was given three slots in the powerful commission. The three slots, she stated, were to be allocated to each of the major parties in the coalition namely ODM, Wiper Democratic Movement and Jubilee.
