National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has rejected the nomination of Suba East MP John Mbadi as the House Minority Leader.
According to Muturi, due process was not followed in Mbadi's nomination.
Muturi directed the NASA Coalition to re-submit their fresh list of leaders by November 17 when the House resumes from recess.
In his communication, Muturi explained that he took the action after he had received conflicting letters from the NASA-affiliate parties over the alliance’s House leadership.
He also issued guidance that he will only receive official communication from the Minority Whip.
Mbadi said the Opposition has no problem complying with the Standing Orders.
