Kenya Kwanza picks Moses Wetangula, Amason Kingi for National Assembly and Senate speaker positions

Elections of both house speakers will be held tomorrow at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi.

Earlier, Former Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar dropped his bid to become the next Senate speaker after what he termed fruitful discussions with Ruto and other Kenya Kwanza leaders.

"I do not object to this. The position was reserved for Coast and I hereby withdraw my candidature. I trust that all senators will support my brother Kingi as the sole Kenya Kwanza candidate as so agreed upon by all of us," he said.

President Kenyatta gazetted Thursday, September 8, as the date of the first sitting for members of both the National Assembly and the Senate.

Members of the two Houses of Parliament will be sworn into office tomorrow.

The exercise that marks the first day of the 13th Parliament will be undertaken in the two respective chambers starting at 9.00 am.
