Kimani Ichung’wah, Aaron Cheruiyot: Kenya Kwanza unveils Parliament leadership

President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza alliance has elected Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichung’wah as the National Assembly Majority Leader.

The alliance, following a two-day Parliamentary Group retreat in Naivasha on Saturday, picked Kilifi North MP Owen Baya as Ichung’wah’s deputy.

South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro was, on the other hand, elected the Majority Whip, deputized by Naomi Wago.

In the Senate, the President Ruto-led political fold elected Kericho Senator as the House Majority Leader, deputised by his Nakuru counterpart Tabitha Karanja.

Kakamega Senator Dr. Bonny Khalwale was picked as the Majority Whip, with Samburu Senator Steve Lelegwe as his deputy.

The onus now falls on Speaker Moses Wetangula to break the stalemate and give a decision on which is the actual majority side depending on their individual numbers.
