A purge targeting ‘rebel’ MPs opposed to President William Ruto’s broad-based government is now in the offing at the National Assembly once the House resumes from recess next month.

Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula yesterday directed for the reconstitution of the House committees, setting the stage for an intense battle for the control of the House teams between Ruto allied legislators, those allied to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
