President Uhuru Kenyatta is today (Tuesday June 2) holding a Jubilee Parliamentary Group meeting, where MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto are set to be axed from their various leadership positions in the National Assembly.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria on Monday leaked the list of the lawmakers who will be facing the Jubilee purge after today’s meeting.
Taking to his official facebook account, Kuria said that he was very much proud of the outgoing team, noting that they had done Kenya as a country, great.
He said he was heartened by the valour, fortitude and humility with which the axed leaders have taken the betrayal.
He listed Garissa Township MP Aden Duale (Majority Leader), Benjamin Washiali (Majority Whip), Cecily Mbarire (Deputy Majority Whip), Kimani Ichungwa (Budget), William Cheptumo (JLAC), Gladys Boss Shollei (Delegated), Julius Melly (Education), Joseph Limo (Finance), Alice Wahome (Vice-Chair Legal) and himself (Vice-Chair Transport), as the Ruto allies who will face the purge today.
“The common factor between Judas Iscariot and Brutus was that both went for the kill with a grin. Today we had enough smiles. Tonight is the night of long knives. The victims have accepted with grace.
” I am very proud of my outgoing team. We have done this country great. I am heartened by the valour, fortitude and humility with which the axed leaders have taken this betrayal.
“Hon Aden Duale (Majority Leader), Benjamin Washiali (Majority Whip), Cecily Mbarire (Deputy Majority Whip), Kimani Ichungwa (Budget), William Cheptumo (JLAC), Gladys Boss Shollei (Delegated), Julius Melly (Education), Joseph Limo (Finance), Alice Wahome (Vice-Chair Legal) and myself (Vice-Chair Transport) – you are all heroes. I trust now the economy will grow with double digit,” reads his Facebook post.
