It is now official that Senate Deputy Speaker Kithure Kindiki is on borrowed time after Speaker Kenneth Lusaka on Wednesday published a notice for a special sitting on Friday to discuss his removal from office.

Prof Kindiki, he said, had shown disrespect to the Jubilee leader - President Uhuru Kenyatta - by "conspiring with ousted Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen to undermine his idea of the deed of transfer of functions of Nairobi County government to the national government for the sake of the people of Nairobi".

He accused Prof Kindiki and Mr Murkomen, both DP Ruto allies, of mobilising senators against the wishes of the party.

Mr Murathe also said Prof Kindiki had failed to attend the Jubilee coalition Senate Parliamentary Group Committee meeting convened by President Kenyatta on May 11.

Mr Ragwa said Prof Kindiki was previously unceremoniously removed from the Senate majority leader's position even after serving President Kenyatta's government diligently.
