NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MAJORITY LEADER ADEN DUALE FACES OUSTER IN TODAY'S JUBILEE PG MEETING AT STATE HOUSE

Sources claim majority leader position will go to Kipipiri MP Amos Kimunya as Navakholo's Emmanuel Wangwe becomes majority whip

President Uhuru Kenyatta is today expected to complete the journey of purging allies of Deputy President William Ruto from key parliamentary offices. By last evening, and saving any last minute interventions, the die appeared cast for National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale and Majority Whip Benjamin Washiali.

For seven years, Duale has been the face of Jubilee leadership in the National Assembly and carried himself with a fairly good sense of political awareness. But yesterday, highly placed sources at the core of the purge confirmed to The Standard that Duale will be replaced by Kipipiri MP Amos Kimunya as majority leader.

Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe will take over from Washiali while Budget and Appropriations Committee chair Kimani Ichung'wa will be replaced by Kieni MP Kanini Kega, according to the sources. Deputy Majority Leader Cecily Mbarire (nominated) will be replaced by Igembe North MP Maoka Maore.

Maore is said to have initially been fronted by opposition leader Raila Odinga as the majority leader to placate the Meru region after the kicking out of Senate Deputy Speaker Kithure Kindiki and Meru Senator Mithika Linturi from their fat positions.

The sources said they will use the Parliamentary Group meeting today to deal with members who have been disloyal to the President.
