Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale was ejected from the Senate after he refused to withdraw claims that former President Uhuru Kenyatta intervened to secure the release of two Kenyan activists detained in Uganda. His remarks sparked a heated debate, leading to his removal from the chamber by Speaker Amason Kingi.

• Dr. Boni Khalwale, Senate Majority Whip, was expelled for not substantiating his claim or apologizing.
• The incident began when Khalwale drew parallels between Kenyan children stranded abroad and the detention of activists Bob Njagi and Nick Oyoo in Uganda for 39 days.
• Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei objected to Khalwale's claim, demanding evidence and referring to it as "hearsay from chang’aa drinking dens."
• Amnesty International previously disclosed that the activists' release followed high-level negotiations, including intervention by former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
• Felix Wambua of the Free Kenya Movement stated, "Without the intervention of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, I don’t know if we would have managed."
