Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has defended Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang'ata, who has been heavily criticised over his views on the support of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) in central Kenya.
BBI supporters have criticised the Murang'a senator for his letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta in which he claimed that the BBI was unpopular in Central Kenya and predicted its defeat.
