Deputy President William Ruto’s allies facing purge from plum House committee positions have asked the Jubilee party to state charges against them. The lawmakers say they are ready to quit the committees but need to know why they are being de-whipped from the plum committee posts. The newly-appointed Majority Whip Emmanuel Wangwe gave the 16 lawmakers up to yesterday (Wednesday) to respond to the party. The MPs, it is argued, were caught between the forces of the ugly fight pitting President Uhuru Kenyatta against DP Ruto. Washiali was ejected alongside Nominated MP Cecily Mbarire who was replaced by Igembe North MP Maoke Maore as deputy Majority whip.
