National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula is facing accusations of compromising the independence of Parliament and acting as a mouthpiece for the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. Critics, including Senate Chief Whip Bonny Khalwale, allege he has abandoned his neutral role and engaged in party politics, violating Chapter 6 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.

• Senator Bonny Khalwale accused Speaker Wetang’ula of violating Chapter 6 of the Constitution.
• Wetang’ula was campaigning in Kiambu, urging residents to vote for President William Ruto for a second term, while accusations of his partiality mounted.
• Former Speaker Justin Muturi and Mukurweini MP John Kaguchia have also criticized Wetang’ula’s conduct, citing his failure to drop his position as leader of Ford Kenya.
