National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has predicted that over 56% of current Members of Parliament will not be re-elected in the upcoming general election, citing rising political temperatures. He made these remarks during a legislative retreat in Naivasha, urging lawmakers to invest in pension schemes.
