Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has been kicked out of Transport, Public works and Housing Committee.
In a letter from newly installed Majority Chief whip in the National Assembly Emmanuel Wangwe, Mr Kuria has been notified of his discharge from the Parliamentary Committee.
In a letter dated Wednesday June 3, Kuria has been given seven(7) days to respond before he is officially discharged from the committe.
“Pursuant to standing Orders 176 (1) and 176 (2), you are hereby notified that the Jubilee Party which nominated you intends to discharge you from the Transport, Public Works and housing Committee. You rae hereby given seven (7) days to respond before you are discharged from the said committee,” reads the letter.
This comes just a day after President Uhuru Kenyatta convened a Jubilee Party Parliamentary Group meeting at State House, Nairobi.
It is through the meeting that Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali was removed from his post as Majority whip.
Moses Kuria however, some hours to the meeting had released a full list of those that were to be axed, most of them being Deputy President William Ruto’s allies.
Kuria had included himself on the list of those to be axed.
“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,” he said in a Facebook post.
Responding to the letter from Wangwe, Kuria has said that it was well with his soul.
