    "content": "(i) THAT, Sen. Fatuma Dullo, MP, be removed from the position of Senate Minority Whip; (ii) THAT, Sen. Ledama Olekina, MP be elected to the position of Senate Minority Whip; and, (iii)THAT, Sen. Edwin Watenya Sifuna, MP, be elected to the position of Deputy Senate Minority Whip. Further, attached to the minutes is a list and signatures of 16 Senators who were present and in support of the resolution. Hon. Senators, subsequent to my receipt of the letter by the Minority Leader as aforesaid, I received two other letters dated 14th February, 2023 and 15th February, 2023, respectively, from Sen. Abdul Haji and Sen. Fatuma Dullo. The letter, by Sen. Haji, Reference No. MW/ADM/2023 (23), dated 14th February, 2023 and received in my office on 15th February, 2023, is titled “ Attempts to Challenge Jubilee Membership in Azimio .” In the letter, Sen. Haji sought to challenge the proposed changes in the leadership of the Minority side on the following grounds- (i)The Jubilee Party has not formally exercised its right to exit the Azimio Coalition in accordance with Article 22 of the Azimio Coalition Agreement; (ii)The Jubilee Party has utmost confidence in the leadership of Sen. Fatuma Dullo, CBS, MP as the Senate Minority Whip; (iii)The Jubilee Party objected against the draconian, un-procedural and unfair attempt to remove the Jubilee Member from the Whip position by only two constituent parties of A zimio Coalition; (iv)The Jubilee Party was unaware of the alleged Azimio la Umoja-one Kenya PG to remove Sen. Fatuma Dullo, MP as the Senate Minority Whip and consequently as Jubilee never participated in the process and that the same was therefore not duly constituted and is null and void; (v)The position of the Senate Minority Whip is a Jubilee Party position as per the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Agreement and that any removal ought to be from the Jubilee Party in form of a letter and not from anywhere else; and, (vi)The positions currently held by Jubilee Party in the Senate were agreed upon by the Azimio Coalition and that any attempts to remove any Member from any position is a violation of the coalition arrangement. Sen. Abdul Haji signed the letter as the National Organizing Secretary of Jubilee Party. Attached to the letter are the minutes of a meeting of Jubilee Senators stated to have been held on 14th February, 2023 at the Serena Hotel with four Senators from the Jubilee Party listed to be present and one absent with apology. Hon. Senators, the letter, by the Senate Minority Whip, Reference No. MW/ADM/2023 (24) dated 15th February, 2023 and received in my office on the same day, is titled ‘Violation of Human Rights and Unprocedural Removal of Jubilee Membersfrom Positions’ . In the letter, the Senate Minority Whip, Sen. Fatuma Dullo, MP, alleges, among other things, that due process was not followed in her purported removal from the office"
