Majority Chief Whip Irungu Kang’ata said he was marshalled support from the majority of the senators to endorse the proposal that was rejected on Tuesday.
Speaking at Gaitheri ACK IN Murang’a during burial of Mrs Wairimu Kihoro grandmother to Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, Kang’ata said jubilee senators who failed to support the proposal have been put on notice for going against the party.
“ In my first attempt I managed to bring the senators from Tanga Tanga and Kielewe wings of the Jubilee party to agree to support the government backed proposal,” said the senator.
In the service, MPs Ndindi, Rigathe Gachagua and Moses Kuria said the pact between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga has not been genuine.
Kuria said Raila is responsible behind the mess in the jubilee party.
“All along Raila has not been sincere, his senators went contrary to the promise made to help Mt Kenya get more money through the proposal,” said Kuria.
Gachagua questioned why Jubilee had managed to get support to oust Senators Kipchumba Murkomen, Susan Kihika and Kithure Kindiki from leadership positions.
“ The ODM betrayed the course as its senators went against Mt Kenya region, that they had lied to be friends through the pact between Kenyatta and Raila,” said Gachagua.
