The news comes at a time when MPs allied to Azimio threatened to paralyze operations in Parliament if MP Sabina Chege’s stay as ongoing and not quashed by the Speaker. Wetangula has also been blamed for the opposition woes as they had already passed their resolution.
Sabina Chege had already moved to court to block her removal which was supported on the ground that she had not exhausted all avenues within Azimio.
