Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) wants the Ministry of Devolution dissolved and its core functions transferred to the counties. The Opposition is angered by recent corruption allegations associated with the ministry.

Speaking at a press conference at Parliament Buildings, about 20 legislators led by CORD co-principal and Senator Moses Wetang’ula (Bungoma) lashed out at Speaker Justin Muturi for agreeing to be used by the Executive to block Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru’s removal from office.
