Kenya: A section of Central Kenya MPs have told off National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale over his recent remarks that he may withdraw support for Jubilee over what he termed as arbitrary arrests of his people.

Led by Kandara MP Alice Wahome, the lawmakers dared Duale to make good his threat and quit Jubilee if he is not happy with the crackdown.

The legislators included Kigo Njenga (Gatundu North), Jude Njomo (Kiambu town), among others.

Meanwhile, Duale has clarified he is not about to quit Jubilee saying as a founder member he had a stake in the ruling coalition.

He, however, said as Garissa Township MP he had the responsibility to champion the rights of his constituents and all Kenyans.
