The Senate on Monday morning failed to debate the Counties Revenue Allocation formula as Senators protested the alleged arrest of three of their colleagues.

The Senate was unanimous in its ninth adjournment on the matter with Senators calling on Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka to find out the facts surrounding the alleged arrests.

The House will reconvene at 2.30pm on Monday with more information expected to be availed on the missing Senators.

Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, Bomet's Christopher Langat, and Steve Lelengwe of Samburu failed to attend the Senate's special sitting after they were reportedly placed on arrest.

When the morning session started at 10am, Makueni Senator Mutula Junior immediately asked the Senate to with hold any business until the arrest was resolved.

<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/fireworks-in-senate-as-3-senators-go-missing-during-critical-debate/tkhnj1n">Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei later moved a motion to adjourn to Monday</a> 2.30pm when the Senate will resume with more information on the missing legislators.

The motion passed with no objection and was a rare moment where otherwise dissenting offences condemned the reported arrest.

"Senator Orengo said that revolutions eat their own children. That this gov't would be worse to us than them who were on the opposition then. That revolution has devoured me and thrown me to the backbench. Now I tell Orengo it will also come for you," Elgeyo Murkomen Senator said in his contribution.

"When I told Murkomen told revolutions eat their own children, I did not exclude myself. I know the day will come and I know what to do. Whenever I'm arrested, I always know what to do. One time I was taken to Kodianga Prison and within two hours I was snoring, the prison wardens were very mad," Siaya Senator James Orengo said in response to Murkomen.

Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio and Chief Whip Irungu Kangata also supported the motion to adjourn.

Cracks have emerged in Deputy President William Ruto's inner circle after Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi revealed how a Tanga Tanga insider betrayed the DP at the last minute.

Sudi accused Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei of betraying the DP as he sought signatures to save Senators Kipchumba Murkomen and Susan Kihika who were this week removed from the positions of Majority Leader and Majority whip respectively.

The outspoken MP made the revelations during an interview with a vernacular station, revealing that Ruto made 22 frantic calls to reach Cherargei who kept on promising he would sign the document but never showed up.

“We began looking for Cherargei so that he could come and append his signature to the letter that had been drafted by Kihika but he kept on saying he will come to where we were but to no avail. This is when I told the boss (DP) to call him. He was called 22 times but he kept on saying he is around and would come and sign,” Sudi said.

The Kapseret MP cast a spotlight on elected leaders in the Rift Valley who did not stand with the DP during the Monday and Tuesday political machinations.

Uasin Gishu Senator Margaret Kamar was also mentioned by Sudi as one of those who signed the State House document.

The Ruto team attempted to reach her so that she could sign their document but Sudi said she delayed but eventually showed up.

"We had received information that Margaret Kamar had signed the Statehouse list in endorsing West Pokot senator Samuel Poghisio to replace Murkomen but we also wanted her to sign our list. We looked for her the whole day and night, by 6am the following day, together with senators Kihika and Aaron Cheruiyot we waited for her at the parking lot. She arrived at 9am and signed the document," Sudi told Chamgei FM.

Members of Parliament allied to Deputy President William Ruto have threatened to impeach Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i.

Speaking during a presser at Parliament building, the legislators accused Matiang’i of disrespecting the DP and intimidating them.

The lawmakers had taken issue with CS Matiangi's comments on people who had criticized him and PS Karanja Kibicho.

CS Matiang'i was speaking during a fundraiser on Friday where he stated that he was only accountable to the President who is the appointing authority.

“I take full responsibility for any action taken by the security team. People should not touch my PS. Don’t blame Kibicho for any of your political problems,” Matiang'i said.

The lawmakers led by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, Belgut MP Nelson Koech and his Soy counterpart Caleb Kositany accused Matiang’i and other civil servants of playing partisan politics.

“We want to tell Matiang’i and his team that when we went into an election, there was no separate election for Ruto and Uhuru,” Kositany stated.

Matiang’i told off the Tanga Tanga group for blaming him and Kibicho for undermining the Deputy President and reminded them that a homestead can't have two heads.

He further claimed that some members of Tanga tanga were referring him and Kibicho as the most terrible individuals in the country.
