Members of parliament allied to the opposition have vowed to block attempts by Jubilee to remove four MPs from the leadership of their committees.
According to the MPs, they will support their collegues in order to safeguard the independence of Parliament.
Minority leader in the National Assembly John Mbadi said Nasa members in the affected committees will attend the planned vote-of-no-confidence meetings.
The meeting are set for Tuesday.
“There is no reason to have a vote of no confidence against the members because the president and his deputy don’t want them to lead the committees. It is a joke on the independence of parliament and we will defend the institution,” Mr Mbadi said.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Mr William Ruto want MPs Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills), Silas Tiren (Moiben), James Gakuya (Embakasi North) and Kangogo Bowen (Marakwet East) removed for going against the party position and heading the committees.
