Muvuti MCA Timothy Kilonzo has been also reinstated as majority whip pending the determination of an application filed by the two before the tribunal. Seventeen out of the 32 Cord MCAs signed for the removal of Mwonga and Kilonzo, a decision which had been communicated in the assembly on October 25. The MCAs replaced Mwonga with Kivaa MCA Alexander Kathinzi, while Gideon Kavuu of Mumbuni North replaced Kilonzo. “This was a party affair and it is clear the party has no faith in Mwonga as the majority leader.
