What you need to know:

  • The majority of MPs in the coalition said they have been left on their own on how to counter Kenya Kwanza Alliance on the floor of the House.
  • Dissenting voices express concern that lack of communication from their leaders both inside and outside parliament may lead to the disintegration of the team.
  • Although Azimio knew they were going to be defeated on this strategy due to the numerical strength of Kenya Kwanza, the aim was to put up a fight and send a strong message to the president.

Disjointed Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition political party is facing an uphill task in undertaking its oversight role in Parliament, as a quiet dissent over lack of clear direction and communication from the leadership gets louder.

The majority of MPs in the coalition, who spoke to the Sunday Nation, said they have been left on their own on how to counter Kenya Kwanza Alliance on the floor of the House.
