Majority Leader in the National Assembly Aden Duale on Tuesday survived the purge being undertaken by President Uhuru Kenyatta in the ongoing Jubilee party leadership changes.
Benjamin Washiali was however not so lucky as he has been replaced by Emmanuel Wangwe as the Majority Whip in the National Assembly after President Kenyatta chaired a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting in his capacity as the Coalition’s Party Leader.
Nominated MP Cecily Mbarire during the PG meeting was also replaced by Richard Maoka Maore as the Deputy Whip.
Further, the party leader appointed Amos Kimunya to serve as the Secretary of the Jubilee Coalition Joint Parliamentary Group.

The changes are expected to be communicated to the Speaker today (Tuesday).
