Aden Duale, the Majority Leader in the National Assembly on Tuesday survived the ongoing Jubilee Party purge.
During a Jubilee Parliamentary group meeting at the State House, National Assembly Majority Whip Benjamin Washiali and his deputy Cecily Mbarire were shown the door.
The two were replaced by Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe and Igembe North MP Maoka Maore respectively.
Prior to the PG meeting, there was talk about plans to have Duale who has held the position for 7 years replaced by Kipipitri MP Amos Kimunya.
At the same time, Budget and Appropriations Committee chair Kimani Ichung’wa was to be replaced by Kieni MP Kanini Kega.
Insiders say the PG which was attended by 230 members of parliament was convened to weed out parties who were not supporting the President’s agenda.
During an interview with NTV on Sunday, President Kenyatta reiterated that he was focused on implementing his ‘Big Four’ agenda noting that the reshuffles had ensured key positions were filled with people allied to his agenda.
