Jubilee resolves to de-whip Senator Kang’ata as Majority Chief Whip

Jubilee Party has resolved to remove Senator Irungu Kang’ata as Majority Chief Whip in the Senate, and replace him with Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi.

Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju announced Tuesday that the party had arrived at a unanimous decision following a series of reasons which included breach of confidential matters.

“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,” Tuju said.

Tuju rubbished off Kang’ata’s claims that the reason for his removal was due to his (Kang’ata) letter addressed to President Uhuru Kenyatta last month.

“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 added.

The SG also alluded that Kang’ata’s failure to honor meetings from the party’s top leadership contributed to his removal as Senate Majority Chief Whip.
