Coast Jubilee activist Farid swaleh has supported the move to replace the Senate majority leadership.

According to Farid, the move by Jubilee party to replace Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen with West Pokot’s Samuel Poghisio as the majority leader was long-overdue.

Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika, who was the Senate chief whip, was also replaced by Irungu Kangata of Murang’a County.

''There is no way you can go against the party that made you who you are at the senate, the worst part is disrespecting your party leader who is also the president, there is no where that this can be accepted'' argued Farid.

Farid called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to carry out the same in the national assembly and do away with those who have shifted their loyalty elsewhere, to Deputy Ppresident William Ruto.

''I expect to see this in the national assembly, let them be removed from all those committees. They should face the music'' Farid.

On Thursday, a section of Jubilee women legislators allied to Deputy President William Ruto protested the move terming it as intimidation after some of the senators failed to attend the meeting chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

In a statement, the Women legislators noted ''We also denounce and condemn the illegal process perpetrated by the said Secretary General all the way to the Senate without due regard to the Political parties Act and the requirements of the Constitution for a fair administrative process," 

Meanwhile Farid has distributed assorted food and masks worth Sh 5 million to vulnerable communities in the war against corona virus in the coast region. He also donated washing soaps and sanitizers to six counties in the region.
