Kenyan National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has allowed an MP affiliated to the former ruling Jubilee Party to occupy a senior House leadership position, ending a five-month controversy that had threatened to derail ongoing bipartisan talks on electoral and governance reforms.
The opposition Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance coalition last week warned it would pull out of the talks unless Nominated MP Sabina Chege, controversially installed by a rebel faction as party leader in place of former president Uhuru Kenyatta in May, stepped down as Minority Chief Whip.
