Like Icarus & Daedalus, Isaac Mwaura flew close to the sun with wings of wax borrowed from the Disability Community. He has now fallen with a thud to the Sea of Political Rejects.
Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura has lost his Senatorial seat after Speaker Kenneth Lusaka gazetted the position as vacant with effect from May 7 2021.
Senator Mwaura, was, however, in the House today and voted during the BBI Bill debate.
In a gazette notice dated May, 10, 2021, Lusaka said the gazettement was in line with Article 98 (I) (d) of the constitution.
The tribunal said the party followed due process in expelling the senator and the internal mechanisms were exhausted, hence the decision could not be faulted.
The ruling paved way for the Registrar of Political Parties to remove Mwaura’s name from membership of the party.
Only President Uhuru Kenyatta could intervene and save him.
The embattled Senator complained that he was not provided with the decision of the National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) to expel him before it was submitted to the National Management Committee (NMC) for ratification.
He claimed there was no evidence to support the allegations made against him.
But Jubilee Sec General Raphael Tuju said the move to expel him was because of his disloyalty to the party and violating the party’s constitution by pledging allegiance to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a party linked to Deputy President William Ruto.
