The former Starehe MP has been leading anti-Ruto campaigns across the country, accusing the deputy president of undermining President Uhuru Kenyatta.

But Ichung'wah, a close ally of DP Ruto, on Sunday asked Kamanda to resign as chairman of National Assembly Integration and Cohesion committee.

He insisted that the nominated MP has been leading a group of ethnic bigots to campaign against Ruto contrary to his role in the National Assembly.

"Kamanda Chairs the National Cohesion committee in the NA.If there’s a Kenyan dispossessed of his land 7yrs into the Jubilee admin. What is he saying of President Kenyatta’s admin? When did he realize this over the last 6-7 yrs such a person/s exist&where is that one such person?" he wrote.

"Kamanda’s desperation is REAL and he should resign as Chair of a committee that should be fostering national cohesion, yet he leads a brigade of ethnic bigots who were rejected by the people," he added.

At Kibra on Sunday, Kamanda insisted that McDonald Mariga is not a Jubilee candidate, adding the President Uhuru Kenyatta supports ODM' Imran Okoth for the by-election.

The firebrand MP also accused Deputy President William Ruto of allegedly grabbing lands across the country, adding that he's unfit to lead the nation.

“I’m a nominated Member of Parliament and directly answerable to the Jubilee Party leader, who is President Kenyatta. I cannot defy my party leader. Imran is the candidate supported by everyone behind the handshake between President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga.
