THE STANDARD POLITICS Murang'a Senator Irungu Kang'ata speaks during a presser at KICC. [David Njaaga, Standard] Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata was on Tuesday removed as Senate Majority Whip by Jubilee Party and replaced by Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi. According to Jubilee Secretary-General Raphael Tuju, the decision was arrived at following a number of issues, key among them being breach of confidentiality. “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. Having taken over from Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen as the Majority Whip in May 2020, Kang’ata enjoyed a cordial relationship with President Uhuru Kenyatta and was among those who backed the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
