Mr Keter said it was a sad day in the history of the Parliament of Kenya. “It is unfortunate when you see an institution meant to be independent and play its oversight role over the executive and judiciary, get muzzled by the same executive,” Mr Keter said. The resolutions to remove the members were passed by Jubilee MPs, who are majority in the committees. We want every part of the country to be represented in the parliamentary committees’ leadership,” Mr Duale, who was flanked by majority whip Mr Bernard Washiali, spoke after the process. Mr Washiali accused the MPs of chasing cheap publicity saying that they can perform proper oversight eve as members.
