The Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party last week encountered the biggest test to its survival yet - a dispute between the two primary partners of the formation.
At the heart of the conflict pitting Raila Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement and former President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee party is the sharing of slots in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). ODM slighted Jubilee by nominating two commissioners, with Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya party earning one position in the PSC, setting off confrontations between ODM and Jubilee lawmakers.
On Thursday, a section of Jubilee Members of Parliament accused ODM of deceit and conmanship when the Senate amended a list of nominees to the PSC that replaced Senate Minority Whip Fatuma Dullo with Nyamira Senator Okong'o Omogeni.
