Jubilee Party has removed Senator Irungu Kang’ata as Majority Chief Whip in the Senate thereby replacing him with Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju who stated that decision was unanimous following several reasons which include breach of confidential matters.
Tuju stated, “His biggest failure as far as leadership is concerned was discussing private matters with other parties. You don’t kiss and tell. It is that breach of confidentiality that has made his position untenable.”
According to the Jubilee Secretary General, the reason for Kang'ata's removal is not because of his letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta last month as the former majority chief whip claims.
“That is not the case, at least not directly. Whatever opinion he had to make was within his rights but the manner in which he did it was wrong, especially matters that include the president,” Tuju confirmed.
He added that Kang’ata’s failure to honor meetings from the party’s top leadership contributed to his removal as Senate Majority Chief Whip.
