On October 26, 2019, a significant shake-up occurred in the Kajiado County Assembly, with Governor Joseph Ole Lenku playing a key role in the removal of MCAs sympathetic to besieged Speaker Johnson Osoi from key committees.
Majority Leader Francis Kaesha, representing Oloosorikon Sholinke ward, was replaced by Daniel Naikuni, the Purko ward MCA, who is seen to be close to County Majority Leader and Ole Lenku's pointman in the assembly.
Joshua Oluwuasa, the Kaptutiei North MCA, was appointed as the new Deputy Minority Leader, while Dickson Nkaloyo, the Matapato North MCA, retained the position of Minority Whip, with Rebecca Supeyo as his deputy.
These moves are seen as laying the groundwork for Speaker Osoi's ouster, with Governor Ole Lenku's influence evident in the changes.
