A statement has been released by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Disciplinary Committee in response to the refusal of a nominated senator, Karen Nyamu, to respect its summons.
Karen Nyamu was asked to appear before the committee after the incident that occurred in Dubai with her baby daddy, Samidoh, the previous week.
Today was the day when she was meant to testify in front of the committee, but the meeting did not take place.
The committee issued a statement in which it said that they had been waiting for the senator, but that she had communicated to them that she needed further time in order to prepare her case.
The committee made the decision to extend her deadline and has mandated that she now appear before it on January 20, 2023.
“We have received your letter dated 20th December 2022 requesting an adjournment of the hearing of the Disciplinary cause against you. Whereas the reasons given are not satisfactory, we shall nevertheless allow you the time requested to prepare your response adequately for the hearing of the summons issued against you.
“Accordingly, this matter shall be heard on the 20th of January 2023 when the committee shall next sit to dispose of this and other matters that are pending before it,” the committee said in a statement.
