National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has rejected a request by Tetu MP Geoffrey Wandeto to withdraw his signature in support of a motion to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Wetang’ula, while addressing MPs during debate on the impeachment motion said he had received a letter from Wandeto purporting to withdraw his signature. “I received a letter from Geofrrey Wandeto purporting to withdraw his signature. Once you append your signature to a Special Motion, you have crossed the rubicon and you cannot withdraw that signature,” he stated. The National Assembly currently has 345 members, 4 members shy of the constitutional 349 occupants.
