Wiper Party Resolves To Expel MP Farah Maalim
The party also called for the MP, who is also the deputy party leader, to be removed from all Parliament committees.

Daadab Member of Parliament Farah Maalim's woes have worsened after the Wiper Party's National Executive Committee (NEC) resolved to kick him out following insensitive remarks targeted at Gen Zs during the recent anti-government demonstrations.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 10, the Kalonzo Musyoka-led party distanced itself from the lawmaker's remarks in which he was captured vowing that he would have taken some of the most drastic and punitive measures against the protesters, including mass killings because their actions amounted to a coup attempt.
The party also called for the MP, who is also the deputy party leader, to be removed from all Parliament committees.
Its National Delegates Convention (NDC) is set to make a decision on the NEC’s recommendations.

“Regarding the conduct and statements attributed to Deputy Party Leader Farah Maalim, let it be known clearly that the Wiper Democratic Movement party distances and disassociates itself from these remarks,” read the statement in part.
“They go against our guiding principles and values as a party. NEC’s decision is that Farah Maalim be de-whipped from all Committees in Parliament including the Speaker’s Panel. NEC also recommends expulsion from the Party to the National Delegates Convention (NDC) – the supreme organ of the party.”
Maalim was also flagged among other Wiper lawmakers for going against the party decision in the controversial Finance Bill, 2024 vote when it came on the floor of the House, by voting 'Yes' in favour of the Bill.
“On the conduct of party members, first, we believe strongly in the fidelity of political parties, their mission, vision and identity. It is in the public domain that three of our members, namely, Farah Maalim – MP for Dadaab, Doris Donya Toto - Kisii Women Rep, John Okano Bwire – MP for Taveta and Abubakar Ahmed - Nominated MP, have repeatedly gone against the party position,” added the statement.
“Their latest transgression was voting 'Yes' and Abstaining – in the case of Donya - for the now withdrawn Finance Bill, 2024. The four received invitations to attend today’s NEC meeting. They all failed to attend nor have offered their apologies. Their cases have been referred to the Party’s Disciplinary Committee.”
This may also put Maalim at risk of being recalled as a lawmaker, among MPs targeted for recalls for ignoring the plight of Kenyans regarding the Finance Bill 2024. Should he be recalled, fresh elections will be held for an individual to take his place.
The resolution came hours after Maalim was summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC). He is currently required to appear before the commission on Thursday, July 11 at 11.00 am at its offices on the 17th Floor, Britam Tower, Hospital Road, Upper Hill, Nairobi.
"Pursuant to Section 27 of the National Cohesion and Integration Act No. 12 of 2008, the Commission is investigating utterances made by the MP in Somali language, on the Gen Z demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024.
"The utterances are likely to incite feelings of contempt, hatred, hostility, violence or discrimination, and affect harmonious coexistence between groups of different political affiliations in Kenya, contrary to Section 13 (1) (a) of the NCI Act," stated NCIC in part.
The commission compelled Maalim to appear before it to assist with the aforementioned ongoing investigations, warning that he risks being arrested for failure to do so.
Despite the summons, the MP had previously maintained that the video that went viral capturing his remarks was manipulated as a political weapon to be used against him.
