Yusuf Haji has been described as a disciplinarian, go-getter and a career civil servant who served the country with dedication and honour.
A father figure, and mentor to many, Haji, who was until his death the Garissa Senator, was a soft-spoken but firm, no-nonsense peace champion who had a sense of humour in discharging his legislative agenda.
His wise counsel and mastery of the political landscape was informed by his many years service in the Provincial Administration, transcending successive regimes.

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.

File 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.
