While his name keeps popping up as a possible target, Majority Leader Aden Duale has confounded both friends and foe, forcing analysts to argue that he could survive the purge based on his performance in the House.
Mr Washiali, who is also the Mumias East MP, warned that the purge could prove to be an attack on the oversight role of Parliament and maintained that the law should be followed if they have to be removed.
Cotu Secretary-General Francis Atwoli last week called for Mr Duale’s ouster, a signal that the trade unionist was speaking for stronger forces in government.
However, former Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo and University of Nairobi don Herman Manyora supported Mr Duale, saying he has done a good job.
Although Mr Midiwo believes that he was stronger than Duale in the House, little did he know that he was a schemer - always vocal on the floor to defend the government agenda while at the same time mobilising his troops to toe the party line.
