Murang’a governor Kang’ata quits UDA ahead of reelection bid

Jeff: Murang’a County Governor Irungu Kang’ata has decamped from the ruling United Democratic Alliance party. Olive: Kang'ata made the announcement barely an hour after hosting President William Ruto in Murang'a. He explained that he will not seek a fresh mandate on a UDA ticket owing to the chronic underfunding of the key pillars that anchored the ruling party’s manifesto - the BETA Plan. Jeff: Kang'ata faulted the Kenya Kwanza administration for failing to pay adequate attention to deep-seated public discontent.
