The hustler nation has criticised the removal from county assembly committees of 15 Kitui MCAs who met Deputy President William Ruto.
Kitui County Hustler Nation coordinator Moses Banda said the dewhipping and intimidation of the MCAs by both the assembly and their parties was an act in futility.
He said the hustler nation's transformational change is unstoppable.
Banda, who was among the leaders who mobilised the MCAs and about 600 Kitui residents to visit Ruto at his Karen home, said the assembly and the political parties should expect more MCAs to abandon their outfits and join UDA.
In a statement on Sunday, Banda castigated the Kitui county assembly leadership and political parties for unfairly persecuting MCAs who were exercising their constitutional rights to association, choice and freedom of speech.
Last Thursday, the Kitui county assembly leadership, termed the 15 MCAs 'well-known self-seekers' and perpetual party hoppers ready for hire.
In a signed statement, speaker George Ndotto said Kitui MCAs fully support Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's presidential bid. The statement was also signed by majority leader Peter Kilonzo and minority leader Alex Nganga.
“Those purporting that they can popularise his [Ruto’s] candidature in Kitui are either hallucinating or stretching their imagination too far,” Ndotto said.
But on Sunday, Banda said the MCAs were not to blame as the pressure to visit the DP and express their support for his hustler narrative and the bottom-up economy model came from their electorate.
“The anger by the assembly and the political parties' honchos should have been directed at the electorate, not the MCAs,” he said.
