Tough week ahead for Masele

What you need to know:

Pan African Parliament lawmaker has found himself at loggerheads with National Assembly Speaker Job Ndugai after he ignored his directive issued last week that required him to return home

Although the speaker did not reveal how Mr Masele misbehaved, the later confirmed that his support for establishment of a commission to investigate President and Speaker of PAP from Cameroon, Mr Nkodo Dang against sexual abuse allegation by the parliament staff may be the main reason behind Mr Ndugai’s decision to recall him. The second term MP who briefly served as deputy minister in President Jakaya Kikwete’s final tern in office said he did not return home because Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa told him to first finish the business in SA while the suggested recall would be sorted locally. The office of the PM has since not issued any statement to verify this claim by Masele. He also, accused mr Dang of seeking to use Mr Ndugai to block an investigation against the allegations he faced.
