Bunda urban Member of Parliament (MP) Esther Bulaya
Dodoma — The main
opposition party Chadema has appointed Bunda urban Member of Parliament
(MP) Esther Bulaya as the new Chief Whip of the opposition in the
Parliament to replace former
Singida North MP Tundu Lissu, whose status
was revoked.
The Speaker of the
National Assembly, Mr Job Ndugai, informed the Parliament that he had
received a letter from Chadema national chairman Mr Freemen Mbowe about
the decision to appoint Ms Buluaya.
In June, 2019
Speaker Ndugai announced that Mr Lissu was stripped of his Singida North
Parliamentary Seat for absenteeism as well as failure to declare his
wealth.
Mr Lissu has been
out of the country since September 2017 when he survived an
assassination attempt. He was treated in Nairobi and currently he is in
Belgium. Mr Lissu has failed to return to the country due to what he
called safety concerns.
In his absence,
Rombo Member of Parliament Mr Joseph Selasini was standing in as the
opposition Chief Whip before he resigned earlier this month.
Meanwhile, the
Speaker of the National Assembly has congratulated both Mr Freeman Mbowe
and Mr John Mnyika for being elected party national chairman and party
secretary general respectively.
