MP Wamuchomba Vows to Pursue Kware Dumpsite Case Despite 20-Day Parliamentary Suspension
Githunguri Member of Parliament, Gathoni Wamuchomba, has issued a strong statement following her 20-day suspension from Parliament, declaring that she will not relent in seeking justice for the victims of the shocking case in which the bodies of 42 women were dumped at the Kware dumpsite in Embakasi.
In a message shared on her X account on Wednesday evening, the outspoken legislator said that the suspension would not silence her or stop her from pushing for accountability over the disturbing incident. She insisted that the truth must come out, and those responsible must face justice.
Her statement came just hours after a tense exchange in Parliament during the grilling of Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen.
The CS had been summoned to answer questions about the current state of security in the country when Wamuchomba pressed him to give a clear account of the whereabouts of Collins Jumaisi Khalusha — a suspected serial killer believed to be behind the Kware killings.
The MP, however, expressed disappointment with the CS’s response, claiming it lacked substance. She warned that if the matter was not addressed properly, she would walk out of the chambers — and moments later, she made good on her word.
Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, citing standing orders 107A as read with 1A and 3, subsequently ordered her suspension for 20 days, barring her from attending parliamentary sessions during that period.
Wamuchomba has now promised to revisit the matter once she is back in the House, stating that the CS must provide concrete and satisfactory answers. She stressed that her concerns reflect the deep pain and frustration felt by many Kenyans.
“Expunged or not, my question still speaks for the pain of many Kenyans. Who was responsible for killing and dumping the bodies of women at Kware dumpsite in Embakasi? How did the suspect escape from police custody? What action is the Ministry taking on this? Has the case been closed? And are the victims’ families being considered for compensation?” she posed.
The legislator further added, “After my 20 days of suspension from Parliament, I will raise the matter again.”
Her stance has sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans. While some support her determination, others believe she handled the matter poorly by walking out.
Critics argue that she missed an opportunity to push the CS harder and allow other MPs to ask follow-up questions for more clarity.
“You had the platform to challenge the CS further and let your colleagues interrogate him too, but you chose to leave. Such matters should be deliberated in the House, not just posted on X,” one Kenyan remarked.
According to the parliamentary calendar, Wamuchomba is expected to return to Parliament in mid-September, although the exact date will depend on scheduled recess days and breaks. Until then, she maintains that her fight for justice in the Kware case is far from over.
