Led by ex-Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire, the leaders dismissed the MP's critics, adding that their motive was ill motivated.

“He noticed a loophole and offered himself to seal it. Those attacking him are not genuine and should be ignored," Bosire said.

He added: "We shall support him all the time because he deserves that. We can't allow a situation where someone is blocked because of his age."

The Dagoretti North second time legislator ignited spokesperson debate when he was installed early March against the wishes of Council of Elders.
