President Uhuru Kenyatta is now keen to crack the whip on various house leaders in his quest to push for government agenda, reports the Nation.
Uhuru, who has been at loggerheads with a section of MPs, is said to be in the final processes to replace a host of Parliamentary leaders from his party.
Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny, a close ally of the president, says such plans are ongoing and will be effected soon.
“I can confirm that the discussions are at the highest level of the party and that we are at the tail end of ensuring the changes are effected. I can assure you, it is inevitable,” he said.
“It’s long overdue and we are pushing it. You cannot purport to be supporting the President, but also oppose his agenda and undermine him. They should not have it both ways.”
Fafi MP Abdikarim Osman confirmed the plot. “Yes, yes … yes. We want everybody out,” he said.
“The President is Uhuru Kenyatta and those not happy with him should relinquish their positions and wait until they form their government. For now, it is President Kenyatta and his supporters must take charge of the committees.”
Some of those targeted for removal are Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen and the Whip Susan Kihika.
Also in the line for removal are Budget Committee chair Kimani Ichungw'ah and Majority Whip Benjamin Washiali.
Those targeted are close allies of Deputy President William Ruto and are said to be derailing the government agenda.
