Murang'a Senator Irungu Kang'ata explained the reason behind Kindiki's ouster from his Deputy Speaker position in the Senate.

"We intend to commence the process to recall the Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Professor Kindiki.

"He was among those Senators who did not attend Parliamentary Group at State House and no reason was given for that none attendance," noted Kang'ata.

The Majority Chief Whip added that a follow up on why he snubbed the meeting invitation or even a written apology, was not forthcoming.

Also reported to be on the chopping board is Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei as the Chair of the Senate Legal Affairs Committee.

Laikipia Senator John Kinyua who occupies the Senate Devolution Committee is also targeted alongside Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga who sits on the Public Accounts Committee

Mandera Senator Mohammed Mahmud is also on the list of those targeted as he occupies the key Finance Committee of the Senate.

Reports indicate that the recall letters are ready for presentation to Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka.

Kang'ata noted that reconstituting of the Senate committees will begin on Monday because some Senators have continued to defy the Jubilee Party Leader, President Uhuru Kenyatta in his endeavour to unify the country.
