Hon. Senators, I have also received in my office a letter dated 24th March, 2021, headed “The Matter of Unprocedural and Unilateral Removal of Senator Cleophas Malalah as Deputy Leader of Minority in the Senate by NASA Member Party and Related Matters on House Leadership”. The letter is signed by Chairman, Amani National Congress (ANC), the Acting Secretary- General (SG), Wiper Democratic Movement and the National Organizing Secretary, FORD-K. The letter commences by stating as follows: “An appeal is, hereby, made by the Speaker’s intervention not to confirm and suspend the unprocedural and unilateral removal of Senator Cleophas Malalah (ANC) by Senate Members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party and changes made in the Committees by the same ODM party without consultation with its NASA parties.”"
