Elgeyo-Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos has welcomed the changes President Uhuru Kenyatta made to the Senate Jubilee leadership, saying that those kicked out had publicly disrespected the party leader.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen and Majority Whip Susan Kihika were removed from the lucrative posts in a parliamentary group meeting chaired by President Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi.
Mr Tolgos said it was no longer tenable to have people speaking a different language from the President's to lead the House business, adding that Mr Kenyatta was right to instil discipline in the ruling party.
Mr Tolgos said it was unimaginable for them to skip a meeting summoned by the President who is the party leader.
The governor spoke as one of Deputy President William Ruto's closest allies, Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, said he is aware that he is among those targeted for ousting following the fresh changes in the Senate leadership.
