Wetangula's office rebuts media claims of bias and defends the Speaker's neutrality

The National Assembly Speaker's office issued a strong rebuttal against media coverage that questioned Moses Wetang'ula's neutrality and political ties. Officials dismissed the weekend publication as misleading and accused journalists of attempting to damage public trust in Parliament. The press unit characterized the reporting as deeply biased and speculative in nature. They emphasized that constitutional provisions permit Speakers to maintain party memberships while preserving House impartiality. Office representatives highlighted Wetang'ula's consistent demonstration of fairness during parliamentary sessions.

The statement defended his continued leadership within Ford Kenya and political activities across Western Kenya as constitutionally protected rights. Officials challenged media interpretations of recent High Court decisions and warned against politicizing judicial rulings. The Speaker's representatives called upon news organizations to uphold professional reporting standards when covering constitutional offices. They concluded by reaffirming Wetang'ula's dedication to impartial service and democratic principles.
