Pilloried and denied by his colleagues, Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata has come out to defend his controversial letter to the president, saying he has no regrets and insisting that his side is braving heavy attack from opponents.

Speaking for the first time since the explosive letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta, Kang’ata told The Standard that he has zero regrets for "reporting the truth as per the wishes of my constituents", but he regrets the "leakage of the letter".
