Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata has come under sharp criticism after comparing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s State House meeting with political party leaders to the crowning of David to be King of Israel.
In a Tweet on Friday, Kang’ata shared a photo of President Kenyatta and several political party leaders, and cheekily questioned “where is the youngest”.
