Speaker: 19 Special Seats MPs ‘are in good hands’
NATIONAL Assembly Speaker Job Ndugai has allayed fears over the 19 Special Seats MPs from the leading opposition party, Chadema saying they should continue with their responsibilities without any fear as they were in good hands.
Ndugai was forced to provide the clarification yesterday following remarks from the party’s top leadership demanding President Samia Suluhu Hassan to intervene on the issue of the legality of the said MPs, to be in the legislative chamber.
Party chairman Freeman Mbowe said in widely quoted remarks that the 19 MPs led by Halima Mdee, the former chairperson of the party’s women organisation, BAWACHA, were expelled from the party in November last year.
