Former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando now wants nominated MP John Mbadi and National Assembly minority leader Opiyo Wandayi to resign.

According to Kabando, this will create a position open for ODM leader Raila Odinga to lead the opposition from within parliament.

He stated that it would also allow Raila to oversight the government from within it.

He, however, that the opposition leader can still do his job from outside the National Assembly.

"ODM Chairman John Mbadi should resign as a nominated MP and Hon. Opiyo Wandayi as the Minority Leader for Rt.Hon Raila Odinga to take up the two respective slots to effectively marshal oversight within and without the legislature Agwambo's resilient Enigma will spur," Kabando said.

He said the constitution does not have to be changed to create a position for Raila as leader of the opposition.

Kabando said the state intends to use this opportunity to include some 'illegal' government positions in law.

He said this will lead to impunity, insisting that constitutionalism should be upheld.

"Weird to mutilate CoK2010 to create a post for Raila Odinga as leader of the official opposition and to sanitize the illegal "psc" post occupied by Musalia Mudavadi. It's impunity, cultist, dynastic and occultism. What happens to Senate and 47 County Assemblies? Hail Constitutionalism!" Kabando added.

President William Ruto had written to parliament requesting that the office of the leader of opposition be created and anchored in law.

This also forms part of the issues set for discussion by the bipartisan team on the Kenya Kwanza side.
