MP Gathoni Wamuchomba Barred From Parliament for 20 Days

Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba has been suspended from Parliament for 20 days by the National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula on Wednesday, August 13.

Wamuchomba was among the MPs in Parliament present to grill Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen on the state of security in the country.

They challenged the CS to account for the whereabouts of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha who is a suspected serial killer believed to have taken the lives of 42 women.

Not satisfied by the aanswers, the Githunguri MP threatened to storm out of the lower house, as she accused the Murkomen of failing to take responsibility for the missing fugitive.

“I have listened to what the Cabinet Secretary has said concerning the cases of the ladies that he confirms were matched with their relatives. But I refuse to sit in this house to listen to the CS confirm that the ministry cannot capture suspects who were previously under their custody,” Wamuchomba said.

“I’m refusing to listen to any other answer he is giving. It’s not right for the cabinet secretary to come and tell us that the suspect has disappeared. What hope is he promising the victim? Is he telling us that we are going to wait forever? It has been three months since the suspect disappeared”, she added as she walked out of the parliament.

This made Wetangula to suspend her for 20 days.
