A copy of the letter drawn by PNU Secretary General John Okemwa de-whipping three PNU MCAs in Meru County AssemblyThe Party of National Unity and Meru County Assembly are on a collision course over the de-whipping of three MCAs. In a letter to Speaker Joseph Kaberia, the party had also removed Mikinduri MCA Gabriel Chokera from various assembly committees. PNU said it took disciplinary action against the trio because they were promoting other parties, to the detriment of the party. But Ayub Bundi (PNU, Abothuguchi Central Ward), dismissed the motion saying the party had de-whipped the members on disciplinary grounds. PNU Chief Whip Kimathi Ithibua said the assembly had gone against the Political Parties Act that empowers a party to remove a member from a committee.
