The Jubilee Party has ejected Murang' a Senator Irungu Kang'ata as its Senate Majority Whip.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, February 9 after the Jubilee Coalition Parliamentary Group meeting held at KICC, Nairobi.
Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju stated that Kang'ata had lost the trust of his Senate leaders by leaking confidential information.

"We had a meeting where we invited Senator Kang’ata but he refused to come, he joined online and later discussed what was discussed to the media. If after talking, you expose what was discussed, then that is not acceptable and that is a big failure as a leader," Tuju spoke.
