Africa-Press – Kenya. Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has said the Jubilee party is now becoming serious baggage to the Azimio La Umoja Coalition. Alai said that it is only fair that the party sort their mess and then come back to the coalition.
“House leadership should be shared between ODM and other parties in Azimio but not Jubilee,” Alai said. The MCA said the Jubilee leadership is proving to be weak and confused, saying they should put their house in order.
Alai’s statement came moments after the Office of Registrar of Political Parties confirmed the deregistration of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies from the Jubilee party.
The Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu said the party followed due process in expelling the party’s secretary general Jeremiah Kioni and vice chair David Murathe.
It also endorsed the suspension of party treasurer Kagwe Gichohi. The move technically hands over the former ruling party to allies of President William Ruto led by acting secretary general Kanini Kega.
“Following a review of the submitted documents, in line with PPA and party constitution, this office is satisfied that the party adhered to the due process,” Nderitu said in a letter dated May 19.
“Accordingly, pursuant to section 34(da), of the PPA, the office has updated its records and the register of party members.” The decision means that Kioni and Murathe are no longer Jubilee members and will therefore have no authority to speak for the party.
The Kega team held a National Executive Council meeting on May 19 and adopted the recommendations of the Party’s Disciplinary Committee to expel Kioni and Murathe from the party.
