No MP votes in Parliament without receiving a call from the top - Wamuchomba

Speaking on Citizen TV's Daybreak Show, Wamuchomba alleged that calls from State House and prefects in the Kenya Kwanza administration are made to legislators before casting votes on the floor.

The vocal politician holds that Kenyan legislators operate from "cages of political patronism, of being called when you are on the floor of the house and being told how to vote."

"Every politician will say they are not in that cage but I can confess that no single vote happens in Parliament without them receiving a call from the Majority Leader, Majority Whip, State House," Wamuchomba said on Monday. 

"We saw them during (Rigathi Gachagua's)impeachment, we saw them during the Finance Bill."

Wamuchomba therefore stated that Gachagua's all-out war on the government is mainly aided by his freedom from any political allegiance.

"That is the cage Rigathi Gachagua was in and now that he is out of that cage he can be able to speak. Some of us are very conflicted because we are never comfortable in the cage," she opined.

Since his impeachment in October 2024, Gachagua has censured the State over what he has termed frail leadership, fingering President William Ruto and his administration over failed governance.
