Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has been removed as Senate minority leader following a meeting by ODM senators.
Wetangula survived an ouster motion last week after Speaker Ken Lusaka temporarily suspended the action, ruling that he needed official communication from the NASA coalition’s chief executive officer.
Reports indicate that leaders allied to Ford Kenya are currently holed up in a meeting to deliberate on the way forward.
The Ford Kenya leader is set to be replaced by Siaya Senator James Orengo who will be deputised by Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala.
On Friday, NASA leader Raila Odinga on Friday distanced himself from the Wetangula's removal, downplaying it as in-house wrangles.
Addressing a crowd at Oyugis Town in Homa Bay County, he stated that it was purely a Senate affair adding that he had nothing to do with the plans to oust the NASA co-prinipal.
"In a house with many wives, jealousy is inevitable. For instance, what happened to Wetangula in Senate is a very small thing," he stated, with reference to Wetangula's attempted removal last week.
