In a letter, Kang’ata, who is also the Majority Chief Whip in the Senate, urged Uhuru to stop campaigning for the initiative in the region because he risks being embarrassed badly by the electorate.
But in a response, BBI Secretariat Co-Chairman, Junet Mohamed, poked holes into Kangata’s letter questioning how he came up with numbers showing a majority of Mr. Kenya residents are opposed to BBI.
“I don’t come from that area (Mount Kenya) so I cannot confirm what (Mr) Kang’ata is saying but this is the gospel according to Kang’ata,”
“He may have his own opinion but I don’t know when Kang’ata became a pollster in this country,” Junet said.
Monday, January 4, 2021 – Murang’a Senator, Irungu Kang’ata, is currently swimming in murky waters after he told President Uhuru Kenyatta that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) is not sellable in the Mt Kenya region.
