Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen now says he will oppose any plans to remove Senator Irungu Kang'ata from his powerful position of Majority Chief Whip, If called upon by the Jubilee party.
"If Jubilee Party Leadership calls for a meeting to remove Majority Whip @HonKangata we shall attend the meeting and vehemently oppose his ejection," Murkomen said.
He said instead they will remove non-party members and replace them with party members.
"It doesn’t matter what he did to Susan Kihika and I, we shall oppose his removal," he said.
His sentiments come after Kang'ata wrote a controversial letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta indicating that the BBI referendum was not popular in the central region.
Kang'ata warned that as a result, the proposed BBI referendum faces a "spectacular defeat" in the region.
The letter which has triggered political suspicion in Raila’s camp has also rocked a major split Mt Kenya backyard that now threatens to scuttle the Building Bridges Initiative.
