A team of MPs drawn from the main political parties including the ruling United Democratic Alliance, Orange Democratic Movement, Jubilee and Wiper have vowed to chart their own political path by replacing 'the lax opposition' and keep the government on its toes.

The political formation calling itself 'team ground' also seeks to push a narrative of generational change through political rallies, protests and meet-the-people tours. The six-member caucus include UDA's Gathoni Wamuchomba (Githunguri) ODM's Babu Owino (Embakasi East), Caleb Amisi (Saboti), Catherine Omanyo (Busia), Wiper's Charles Nguna (Mwingi West) Jubilee's Amos Mwago (Starehe) and Mark Mwenje (Embakasi West).
