Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has been suspended from parliamentary business for five sitting days after declining to apologize for remarks he made concerning investments in Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) shares.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula issued the ruling on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, after Nyoro declined to withdraw remarks alleging that senior government officials had influenced public institutions to invest in the KPC initial public offering (IPO).

Nyoro had claimed in the House that officials at institutions including the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), Public Service Superannuation Fund (PSSF) and Kenya Re received calls from what he described as “the high office” to invest in the KPC IPO as the offer approached the close of its subscription period.

The claims were challenged in Parliament, with lawmakers calling on Nyoro to provide evidence to support his allegations.

Nyoro asked for an additional two weeks to substantiate the claims but declined the Speaker's direction to apologize, maintaining that his statements were truthful.

“What I stated is the truth, and the truth rides higher than the rules.”

Wetang’ula subsequently ruled that Nyoro's conduct amounted to gross disorderly conduct. He invoked parliamentary Standing Orders that provide for disciplinary action against a Member who refuses to comply with a direction of the Speaker.

The Speaker ordered that Nyoro be excluded from the House for five sitting days. Reports differ in describing the precise effect of the ruling, but the parliamentary proceedings and subsequent reporting indicate that the immediate sanction prevents Nyoro from participating in debates and other business of the House during the period.

Nyoro later maintained that he had not been given sufficient time to substantiate his allegations. He said he would continue raising questions about the management of public funds and investment decisions by state institutions.

The dispute comes amid scrutiny of the performance and participation of state institutions in the KPC share offering, with the issue now becoming a point of contention within Parliament.

For now, Nyoro remains the sitting MP for Kiharu, but the Speaker's ruling temporarily removes him from participating in parliamentary business for the prescribed five sitting days
