Senate Minority Whip under the Kenya Constitution 2010. Muthama also co-chaired the Opposition outfit Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD). He went ahead to co-chair the national opposition movement management committee when the coalition transformed itself into National Super Alliance (NASA). Position on compensation to MPs As a first time legislator in 2008, being the member of parliament (MP) for Kangundo Constituency, Muthama took a stand that members of parliament are paid too generously. This according to him a situation not in tune with the economic realities of the rest of Kenyans. He earned the reputation of being the first MP to pay tax on his salary. He went against the wishes of the majority of fellow parliamentarians who were resisting the taxation of their salaries and were going as far as increasing their salaries. While not being an MP in 2019, he castigated the Kenyan legislators for awarding themselves extra house allowances. Position on National Cohesion In 2020, Muthama has taken an opposing position to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). He has asked Kenyans not to support the initiative blindly. He claimed that the initiative to change the Kenyan constitution appeared to amend the Kenya Government structures to address the self-interest of politicians rather than address challenges facing Kenyans. Muthama is reported to have made proposals to the BBI initiative through his Wiper Party. The party is reported to have refused to present Muthama's proposals to the BBI steering committee. This is reported to play out in what is considered a supremacy battle for control of Kenya's lower eastern voting block in Ukambani. While criticizing the BBI initiative in January 2020, Muthama requested President Uhuru Kenyatta to resist the temptation to cling on to power beyond his second and final constitutional term in 2022. According to Muthama, the solution to Kenya's perennial problem of election violence and negative ethnicity is the Country's Presidency being held rotationally among its ethnic communities. Confrontation with Government Muthama is one of the politicians who have openly disagreed with Kenya's Jubilee government leadership. He was affiliated to Kalonzo Musyoka, the presumed leader of the Kamba community in Kenya. In early November 2013, Muthama publicly announced that the government of Uhuru Kenyatta had withdrawn his security due to his stand over the ongoing cases in the International Criminal Court where Uhuru Kenyatta is facing trials. In 2013 Muthama's personal security as a legislator was withdrawn.
