Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has asked Jubilee to punish three MPs from the North Rift region who had defied the party and refused to resign from House committees. The three Sila Tiren, Bowen Kangogo and Alfred Keter were elected as chairmen of various committees but Deputy President William Ruto asked them to step down. Nandi Hills' Keter was elected chair of Labour and Social Welfare committee, Moiben's Tiren (Agriculture) while Marakwet's Bowen won the Environment Committee chair vote. The MP said the president, the DP, and Jubilee Party are justified in taking action against the defiant MPs. Sudi said the defiant legislators are on the wrong and should respect the party decisions to share out parliamentary positions nationally.
