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).

Kananu: Prioritise joint projects implementation

Speaking during a meeting of 10 county governments under the Central Region Economic Bloc (CEREB), Kananu said the bloc can take advantage of Nairobi’s five million-plus population to build a strategic partnership for its products.
Cereb comprises 10 counties including Embu, Kiambu, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, Meru, Murang’a, Nakuru, Nyandarua, Nyeri and Tharaka Nithi with a combined population of 10.7 million.
The region has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Sh2.1 trillion ($20.5 billion), larger than Rwanda and Burundi’s GDP and would be 113 out of 217 countries globally. Rwanda has a GDP of $10.4 billion while Burundi’s GDP is $3 billion.
“There is need to leverage on economies of scale through the implementation of joint projects or activities, as and where necessary, to supplement what individual counties will do towards improving the livelihoods of the people of these counties,” said Kananu.

Trio battle for CoG chair in today's poll

THE STANDARD
Governors Charity Ngilu (Kitui), Martin Wambora (Embu) and Dhadho Godhana (Tana River) will today battle it out for a chance to chair the Council of Governors (CoG).
County bosses are seeking to replace Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya who has served his maximum two terms.
The governors will also be electing CoG vice chair, whip and 12 committee chairs after the term of the current team lapsed.
Mrs Ngilu will be the second woman to run for the post after Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru failed to secure it last time as she was prevailed upon by her male colleagues to step down in favour of Mr Oparanya.
