NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 13 – The new Jubilee Party officials have formally notified the Registrar of Political Parties on last week’s changes made by the National Executive Committee.
The Party’s Deputy Secretary General Joshua Kutuny also attached documents of their meetings which made various resolutions including the suspension of Vice Chair David Murathe , the Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni and National Treasurer Kagwe Gichochi.
This also includes the list of the Jubilee Party National Executive Committee members who attended the NEC meeting held in Nakuru last week on Friday.
“Kindly acknowledge receipt of the said documents and confirm to us that the National Executive Committee is now compliant with the two thirds gender rule,” reads the letter in part.
Following the suspension of the said officials, Eldas MP Adan Keynan was appointed as the acting vice chairperson, EALA MP Kanini Kega was appointed as the Acting Secretary General and Kitui Women Rep Rachael Nyamai as the National Treasurer.
The NEC also resolved to have the Internal Dispute Resolution Mechanism convened immediately to consider disciplinary cases lodged against the suspended officials.
This move came after close to 32 Jubilee MPs broke ranks with the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya and joined hands with the President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance, following a meeting with President Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua at State House Nairobi on Wednesday last week.
Led by Nominated MP Sabina Chege and Kega the leaders committed to work with the government abandoning the revolution agenda by opposition leader Raila Odinga.
“We don’t want to feel left out in your government so we kindly request you to include us in your development plans,” Chege said.
Eldas MP Adan Keynan asserted that they will join hands to bolster the agenda of President Ruto’s administration.
“We want to be part of this government having been together before the last elections,” Keynan stated.
