On Thursday evening, Mr Tuju unveiled a new line-up reinstating former Majority Leader and Matopeni MCA Abdi Guyo to his seat and picking Mihango MCA Paul Kados, from the rival faction, as the Majority Whip.
Hon Guyo replaced Dandora Area 3 MCA Charles Thuo while Mr Kados took over from nominated MCA June Ndegwa.
In what appears like a well orchestrated move backed by state house operatives, Guyo’s return is aimed at providing leadership based on his party loyalty and astituteness. Guyo served as the minority whip in the first 5 years of Jubilee reign.
During the negotiations, Hon David Murathe and Tuju were constantly in the meetingschaired by Tuju sending a signal that the president was fully in the picture.
The Matopeni MCA will be deputided by Dandora Area 1 MCA Peter Wanyoike while Mr Kados will be deputised by South B MCA Waithera Chege.
Mr Thuo and Ms Ndegwa have been among Jubilee MCAs calling themselves the “12 disciples”.
They have been leaning towards Speaker Elachi while Mr Guyo and Ms Chege made up with the City Hall boss after he fell out with Ms Elachi
“I allowed a temporary situation to prevail until they reached an agreement. There were different camps and so each of the protagonists has been given a position,” he siad.
“It was my responsibility to communicate the same so they can work without any more fighting
On Friday during a special seitting, the speaker failed to aknowledge the new changes in the house leadership.
“No letter has reached my office to communicate the changes. I can only communicate to the house on the changes when the SG officially writes a letter to the Office of the Speaker on all the changes,”Elachi said.
The house is on recess and the return of Guyo is promising more fire works in the house.
Many Odm members are very uncomfortable with the return of Hon Guyo sanitizing the impression that Odm had taken over the house via backdoor despite their numerical disadvantage
