impeachment calls in Kenya

What happened? There was a decision, a court ruling, declaring the Azimio la Umoja coalition the majority in the National Assembly. This ruling was ignored by the Speaker of Parliament, Moses Wetang’ula. In a ruling on February 7, the Nairobi High Court ruled that 14 members of the opposition had switched parties and joined the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance. Wetang’ula also has a party, the FORD Kenya Party – a subsidiary of Kenya Kwanza. The High Court also ruled that his activities as the leader of his political party, FORD Kenya, were illegal and unconstitutional. Wetang’ula has appealed this ruling. He reiterated that Kenya Kwanza is the majority coalition. Opposition MPs in Kenya’s Parliament are pushing for the resignation or impeachment of Speaker of Parliament, Moses Wetang’ula
