What happened
Ndindi Nyoro, a member for Kiharu, claimed that high office pressured public bodies, including the National Social Security Fund, to invest in the Kenya Pipeline initial public offering. Speaker Moses Wetang’ula suspended Nyoro on October 7, 2026, after Nyoro refused to withdraw the claim. Wetang’ula stated that the claims could not be substantiated after the remarks were struck from the official record.
