Opposition MPs dropped from House committees

Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi

The Opposition yesterday dropped two MPs from committees of the National Assembly.

Minority Whip Thomas Mwadeghu (Wundanyi) told Speaker Justin Muturi that CORD had dismissed Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja) and Masoud Mwahima (Likoni) from their respective committees.

He insisted the reason for the de-whipping was to "reorganise committees and not to punish the two members."

Wandayi is serving an eight-month suspension over heckling President Kenyatta on March 31.
