Thursday, February 16, 2023 – Tables have turned in Jubilee Party after a bloodless coup where former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies were ousted and replaced by President William Ruto’s allies.
This is after the newly elected Jubilee Party Secretary-General (SG) Kanini Kega summoned suspended SG Jeremiah Kioni and Vice Chair David Murathe to appear before the disciplinary committee.
Speaking at the party Headquarters yesterday, Kega revealed that Kioni, Murathe, and ousted National Treasurer Kagwe Gichohi had already been served the summons by the party.
“We were substantively put in office by the National Executive Committee (NEC) and will make sure that the disciplinary process takes place.
“The party has already communicated to them and hopes that in due course, they will be able to appear before the organs charged with that responsibility,” Kega stated.
The East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Member of Parliament (MP) further promised that the three would be treated fairly.
This comes even as Kioni had summoned Kega and Sabina Chege among others for discipline for meeting with Ruto at State House without Uhuru’s blessings before the coup.
At the same time, Kega announced the ban of further engagement of Jubilee in any political activities organized by the coalition party as the rift within the opposition intensifies.
“We have advised our members of the National Assembly and the Senate as well as NEC members to desist from attending any meeting that will create chaos and bring disruption in the country,” the new SG stated.
He explained that the bad blood was caused by continuous discrimination of Jubilee in the coalition citing unfair allocation of slots in Parliamentary leadership and committee positions.
