TNA has suspended Nominated Senator Joy Gwendo over allegations that she no longer serves the interests of the party, but the opposition's.
The suspension is with immediate effect, the party disciplinary committee said in a statement on Friday, adding that she has been de-whipped from all Senate committees.
The committee said Gwendo has "actively supported the agenda of the opposition both within and outside parliament contrary to article 4(8( (b) of the party constitution".
"The charged member has, in her conduct, brought the name of the party and the office she holds into disrepute, contrary to article 3 and 4 of the party constitution," it added.
"She has also been disrespectful to the Kisumu branch, being an organ of the party, contrary to article 35 of the party constitution."
The team recommended her immediate expulsion from the party by the National Oversight Board.
Gwendo's suspension comes days after the committee absolved Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria of incitement to violence claims.
The committee said on Wednesday that the video recordings presented to it were "edited and unreliable".
A video surfaced in July, showing Kuria allegedly asking panga-wielding youth to kill anyone opposed to the NYS.
The committee asked Kuria to convene a meeting and clarify the intended message within 14 days, and publish an apology on national dailies or media of choice.
