Machakos county governor Dr Alfred Mutua has bitterly condemned the de-whipping of several wiper leaders from parliamentary committees.
In his Facebook page, the governor went ahead to term the move by wiper party as intolerant undemocratic and smacking of the dark KANU era machination that was used to curtail freedom of speech, association and democracy.
"I strongly condemn the de-whipping from parliamentary committees of fellow Wiper leaders - Regina Ndambuki, John Munuve and Joe Mutambu," said Mutua.
"The move by my party Wiper can only be viewed as intolerant, undemocratic and smacking of the dark KANU era machinations that were used to curtail freedom of speech, association and democracy," he added.
Mutua said the three members are being punished because they have associated themselves with politics of development and not politics of poverty.
He said that they are supporters of Maendeleo Chap Chap movement that seeks to transform what has been empty talk and political promises into real change and development.
Mutua called upon all citizens, and especially, the youth of Kenya who are tired of their lives being played with by archaic systems, to condemn this act saying that the time for change that focuses on Mwananchi is now and it is unstoppable.
