Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi has reacted to Tuesday ouster of Moses Wetangula as the Senate Minority leader.
In a statement sent to newsroom, Mudavadi said that the move was meant to embarrass the Bungoma Senator.
He stated that, Wetangula's ouster was reprehensible and a tragic mischief.
“The latest manifestation was a move to embarrass Moses Wetang’ula by some people who have decided to dethrone him,” he said.
The former deputy Prime Minister further assured the Bungoma Senator of unwavering support and confidence in his leadership.
The senators who attended Coalition’s Parliamentary Group meeting on Tuesday morning replaced Wetang'ula with Siaya Senator James Orengo.
It is believed that Wetangula was ousted for failing to attend the controversial swearing-in of NASA leader Raila Odinga on January 30 at Uhuru Park.
