Nominated Member of the National Assembly Sabina Chege has retained her position as the minority deputy whip.
Speaking during a National Assembly proceeding on Thursday, Speaker Moses Wetang'ula said a court order has been issued barring her removal.
"Honorable members from the foregoing, my hands are tied with regard to the court order that has been brought to my attention," he said.
"Until and unless further information is provided, that this order has been varied or set aside, the court order effectively suspends the decision by the minority party on the replacement of Sabina Chege as the deputy minority whip."
The Speaker, however, acknowledged that the Azimio coalition had met all procedural requirements for the change of leadership.
He urged the Azimio outfit and Jubilee party to seek amicable resolution, cautioning that court battles may end up being counterproductive and destroy long standing political relationships.
"I'm confident that an amicable resolution of the issues shall positively contribute to the continuity of the business of the House and it's vibrancy," Wetang'ula said.
On May 30, Azimio kicked out Chege and replaced her with Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje.
Following his nomination, the coalition wrote to Wetang'ula seeking Chege's replacement ahead of the resumption of sittings in June.
Chege was kicked out because of her shift in loyalty to President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza government.
She was recently installed as the party leader of the Jubilee party by a faction that is disloyal to Uhuru.
