Kenyan Senators Victor Prengei, Mary Seneta, Millicent Omanga, Naomi Waqo, Dekow Iman, and Christine Zawadi are holding on to luck as a seemingly pre-determined disciplinary process gathers steam.
With an overzealous 'purge team' working round the clock to send six of their Senate colleagues to inflation, some resorted to bending over backwards to underscore their loyalty to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
On social media, Nominated MP David Ole Sankok and Omanga played the quintessential Kenyan politician to save their skins, posting pictures and messages that could be seen as a display of loyalty to Deputy President William Ruto.
However, the possibility of being guillotined must have jolted them, as Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang'ata's team was tying the loose ends for a disciplinary action.
Commentators like Prof Makau Mutua have been taunting Deputy President William Ruto, saying he should stand up and defend his men and women.
“I am flabbergasted William Ruto foot soldiers...are being picked off one by one while he cowers under the bed in Karen. The man from Sugoi should stand up and defend his men and women. No general abandons his fighters.”
