Similar sentiments were echoed by Marakwet- East MP Bowen Kangongo who warned that the debacle could as well to the end of Jubilee.
"We are not living in KANU era. Our rights must be respected all the time. We have many parties that we can join."
At Eldoret, Moiben MP Silas Tiren threatened Jubilee to expel him insisting that he will not relinquish his position as Chairman Agriculture.
"Cartels have ganged up against us but we remain unmoved. I am not going anywhere," he said.
