The letter, which surfaced earlier this week, named Suba South MP Caroli Omondi as the new leader of Azimio parliamentary MPs.
However, Speaker Wetangula raised serious doubts about its authenticity, citing several inconsistencies and factual errors.
Speaking from the parliamentary chambers, Wetangula noted that the letter contained a glaring error in the signature.
“It is signed by one ‘Kalonzo Kalonzo Musyoka,’ a name that does not exist in Kenya. Everyone knows the former Vice President as Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka,” he said.
The Speaker emphasized that such discrepancies make the letter highly suspect and inadmissible for any parliamentary processes.
The National Assembly has strict rules regarding communications from political offices, and letters of this nature are expected to adhere to formal protocols, including accurate signatures and official letterheads.
Wetangula warned MPs against circulating or acting on documents whose legitimacy cannot be verified.
Political analysts say this episode highlights the ongoing tussles within Azimio la Umoja Coalition, where leadership positions and internal organization continue to generate debate among allied lawmakers.
While Azimio has not officially commented on the disputed letter, the incident has sparked discussions on social media, with some critics suggesting it could be an attempt to sow confusion ahead of upcoming parliamentary sessions.
Meanwhile, MP Caroli Omondi has yet to respond publicly to the claims regarding his alleged new role, leaving many wondering whether the letter was a genuine internal communication or a fabricated attempt to influence parliamentary dynamics.
The National Assembly will continue to operate under its current leadership while verifying any claims about changes within party or coalition hierarchies.
