The Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang'ata has now threatened to take action against Jubilee Senators who on Tuesday defied the government's stand on the counties' revenue sharing formula. Kang'ata had argued that the postponement would be a win-win situation for all senators. Moments after the Senate was adjourned, Kang'ata said that they will soon crack the whip on those who shot down his motion. Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV, the Majority Whip said once a senator who occupies a leadership post votes against the government's position, he or she must expect some sanctions. Speaker Kenneth Lusaka will now have to gazette a special sitting for the members to conclude the debate and vote.
