This comes just days after ODM and Ford Kenya threatened to kick out those who ditched the parties for the newly-formed Jubilee Party.

On Thursday, Kaluma wrote to the National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi saying the defectors should not be allowed in parliament since they ceased being MPs when they dumped the parties that took them to parliament.

In the letter, Kaluma said: "The former MPs are deemed to have resigned from their political parties and vacated office by provision of Article 103 of the Constitution read together with Section 14 of The Political Parties Act."

In addition, Kaluma wants the ‘former’ MPs' free access to the precincts of parliament and facilities reserved for MPs including plenary halls, health club and restaurant curtailed.

He said the former MPs are now strangers who are risking the safety, security and privacy of serving MPs.

Already, the cost of holding by-elections for areas where the MPs have defected would run into several hundred millions and the registrar of political parties Lucy Ndung’u has said it would take up to six months to replace such MPs.
