National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula wears controversy like his Sunday best suit. He has faced a barrage of accusations over the manner he has conducted himself by locking out voices critical of the government during debates and engaging in party politics at the behest of the ruling coalition, Kenya Kwanza.
His critics accuse him of abandoning his role of an independent arbiter and compromising the independence of Parliament to becoming the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party mouthpiece.
