He was the inaugural governor of the County of Laikipia from 2013 to 2017, representing the Jubilee Coalition party TNA. EducationJoshua Irungu holds a master's degree in Agriculture and Rural Development in addition to a bachelor's degree in Resource Management from Egerton University.[1][2] CareerUp until the year 2000, Joshua Irungu was a civil servant in Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture. He was in charge of Agriculture and Livestock Development officers in charge of Laikipia West and Nyahururu divisions of what was then Laikipia District. He resigned from government and joined USAID, for whom he was in charge of the International Small Group and Tree planting programme(ISGTPP).[3] In total he has over 15 years experience in Community Development programmes in Laikipia County. 2013 General ElectionsJoshua Irungu, and his running mate Josephat Kabugi Gitonga won the 2013 Gubernatorial election in Laikipia County by a landslide, having secured the nomination of the National Alliance party earlier in the year.[4]
Governorship TenureJoshua Irungu's tenure as governor ran into controversy due to his association with a move by Kenyan politicians calling for the evicting of white settlers from the country. He was said to have demanded the departure of settlers of British origin from Laikipia County for 'failure to support deferral of cases facing President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto at the international Criminal Court' a statement for which he later apologized.[5] 2017 General ElectionsJoshua Irungu was narrowly defeated in the 2017 Governor's race by Independent candidate Ndiritu Muriithi. FamilyJoshua Irungu is married to Grace Wakahora and a father of three sons and a daughter.[6] References1. ^http://www.mudavadi2013.com/South_Rift/Laikipia/Joshua%20Irungu.htm {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304225528/http://www.mudavadi2013.com/South_Rift/Laikipia/Joshua%20Irungu.htm# |date=4 March 2016 }} 31.
