Gitonga Mukunji, the Manyatta MP has said Parliament will summon Winnie Odinga for failing to attend an EALA meeting convened by President William Ruto.

Mukunji said they will summon Winnie to the National Assembly to explain why she did not appear at the meeting which was attended by all members.

"We are going to call upon Winnie in the National Assembly to explain why she did not appear in serious meetings such as the ones called by the President and it was attended by all members including the son of Kalonzo Musyoka," he said.

He said Winnie was voted in by both Azimio and Kenya Kwanza MPs hence she did not have reasons to skip the meeting.

"I want to say we are going to recall her from EALA because of not appearing in official functions of EALA," he said.

He said the meeting was important and vital issues about the East African Community were discussed. 

"All members of EALA met the President and the CS in charge of the East Africa region and they were there to get the mandate of our standing as a country on the issues of the East African Community."

Mukunji said if Winnie has still not moved on from August politics, then her position should be given to another person who will deliver.

Winnie is the daughter of ODM Leader Raila Odinga, who was in the August elections defeated by Ruto.

Ruto met the MPs at State House, Nairobi on Monday following their election in November.

Images shared by State House Kenya showed that all EALA MPs-elect were present except Winnie.
