Separately, Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku rebuked the opposition for what he described as "insult-laden, bitter and misleading rhetoric" during recent rallies in Embu and Kirinyaga counties. Ruku accused the opposition of undermining elected officials and government development records. Concurrently, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party plans to remove Senator Boni Khalwale from his position as Senate's Majority Chief Whip.
