"Wamatangi immediately ceases to hold the office of the majority chief whip in the Senate. He ceases to hold any leadership position in any committee of the Senate that he currently holds by virtue of being a member of Jubilee Party," Jeremiah Kioni stated.
This directive comes after Senator Wamatangi joined Deputy President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) on Sunday, March 13.
Wamatangi had previously justified his decision to join Ruto's UDA party and had maintained his position stating that UDA was the most popular party in his home county during an interview with an online source in Kenya.
“I don’t have a problem with Jubilee, the people of Kiambu told me to move to UDA,” Wamatangi stated.
In the event that Wamatangi does not agree with the party's decision, Kioni stated that Wamatangi should submit formal objections to the party through the secretary-general by March 17.
"In the event that the party does not receive your representation on the deadline... speaker of the Senate will be notified of this record and further action," he added.
Wamatangi also revealed that he was ready for any disciplinary action against him by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“I welcome disciplinary action if it comes. I am not one of the agenda. I do not behold any positions,” he added.
