Two MPs allied to the ruling Jubilee party have accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of promoting dictatorship tendencies in the country.
For weeks now, Uhuru has been tackling rebellion within the party, a move that has seen a section of Rift Valley MPs openly rebuke him.
And Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter and his Kapenguria counterpart Samuel Moroto have warned that the tendencies are unacceptable and would be fought back.
"From the recent developments, it is clear that dictatorship tendencies are reemerging at an alarming rate. He (Uhuru) is borrowing a lot from the Communist party," he said.
On his part, Moroto said: "Although Jubilee leadership may have an interest in an issue it should not manipulate MPs or interfere with their work."
Last month, Keter was one of MPs who suffered Uhuru's wrath when he was ousted from Labour committee as chairperson.
Among issues they accuse Uhuru is gagging of media, attacks on the judiciary and attempts to deregister civil society, tendencies they claim are replica of Communist Party of China.
