Amos Muhinga Kimunya is no stranger to controversy going by his past remarks. His latest, being his resolve to resign as National Assembly Majority Leader if United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate Francis Githaiga wins the Rurii Ward by-election. UDA is associated with Deputy President William Ruto.

But it seems the Kipipiri legislator’s fiery tongue always puts him in the line of fire. On Thursday, the National Assembly WhatsApp group was awash with calls to Mr Kimunya to make good his threat, after Jubilee’s Peter Thinji lost to Githaiga.
