The controversy erupted following a dramatic decision by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula to suspend MP Wanami Jack Wamboka from his role as Chair of the Public Investments Committee (PIC).
The suspension stems from ongoing investigations into alleged bribery and intimidation claims—accusations that have yet to be conclusively proven.
But Amisi is not buying it.
The outspoken Orange Democratic Movement MP questioned the legality and intent behind the move.
“Why suspend a member from a committee chair position when it is the prerogative of the party or coalition?” he posed, raising constitutional and procedural concerns.
Amisi went further, poking holes in the allegations themselves.
“It is a bribery claim that is not yet substantiated,” he argued.
“If indeed a bribe was given, who gave it—and why?” These questions, he suggested, remain unanswered, making the suspension appear premature and politically motivated.
The legislator did not mince words as he escalated his accusations, claiming the move is part of a broader political scheme.
“Ruto is fighting MPs who have refused to work for him,” Amisi declared, igniting debate across the political landscape.
The unfolding saga has exposed deepening cracks within Kenya’s political class, with concerns growing over alleged misuse of power and the independence of parliamentary committees.
Analysts warn that such confrontations could heighten tensions between the executive and lawmakers, especially as political alliances continue to shift.
As investigations into the bribery and intimidation claims proceed, all eyes remain on Parliament.
Will the truth vindicate the suspension—or confirm fears of political retaliation? One thing is certain: this high-stakes showdown is far from over.
