Was Jubilee right to de-whip 'defiant' MPs after court's order?

Jubilee, through its Majority Leader  Aden Duale and Chief Whip Ben Washiali, is right to de-whip MPs Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills), Silas Tiren (Moiben), Mwangi Gakuya (Embakasi North), David Kangogo Bowen (Marakwet East) and Alex Kosgey (Emgwen) for going against the party’s (voting) will in the House.

Political parties have rules and it becomes natural for any politician to be disciplined in whatever way, including being de-whipped if he or she doesn’t abide by the set rules. Of the five legislators in the National Assembly who were de-whipped we know that they campaigned and had their seats, thanks to the popularity of the Jubilee Party.
