Published on July 18, 2020, new details have emerged about the ruling Jubilee Party's intentions to discipline Deputy President William Ruto's allies for disrespecting President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The six Tangatanga lawmakers, including Soy MP Caleb Kositany and Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri, have been reported to face disciplinary action for constantly attacking the party leader.
According to an inside source, the six National Assembly members will face the disciplinary committee soon.
"We have six MPs we want to take through the disciplinary process for constantly abusing the president and openly going against the party position. The cases will be consolidated with those of five nominated Senators," the source stated.
The source also revealed that the five nominated Senators are yet to face their verdict as the National Executive Committee is set to address their case together with that of the six MPs from DP Ruto's camp.
"It is on this basis that NEC has not sat to deliberate on the report of the National Disciplinary Committee on the five senators. We want them dispensed within a single seating," the source added.
The six Jubilee MPs set to face disciplinary actions include Kandara MP Alice Wahome, Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, and Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua.
They risk losing their Parliamentary seats if finally expelled from the party, however, the process might take long as Tangatanga MPs might dispute the move to remove them from office.
