This camp supports the DP\u2019s quest to succeed President Kenyatta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Official position<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, who is one of the conveners, had portrayed the forum as a PG meeting, saying it would come up with Jubilee\u2019s official position on the BBI.\u201cWe are gearing up for the first official Jubilee Parliamentary Group meeting since the release of the BBI report. We shall come up with the official Jubilee position on the BBI scenarios to be presented to (Senator Yusuf) Haji\u2019s team,\u201d said Mr Kuria, adding that the meeting would also come up with a strategy for the 2022 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa said the meeting would be used to evaluate Ruto\u2019s influence in both the National Assembly and the Senate as they strategise for the presidential polls.\u201cWe will bond, plan on how to strengthen the party, schedule BBI sensitisation meetings, plan economic empowerment meetings with regions similar to the Sagana meeting, and also most importantly evaluate our numbers in the Senate and National Assembly of those behind William Ruto,\u201d said Mr Barasa, a close ally of Ruto from Western Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju, however, said the meeting was not sanctioned by the ruling party, terming it a private initiative by some MPs.\u201cIt can only be an informal meeting by parliamentarians. Nothing is wrong with that. But our party constitution only provides for a Parliamentary Group meeting that is chaired by the party leader or when he officially delegates the chairmanship,\u201d Mr Tuju explained yesterday.MPs allied to the deputy president have persistently pushed Uhuru, the party leader, to convene a PG meeting, which the party has not held for more than two years, to discuss the rift in the ruling party as well as party elections due in March.<\/p>\n<p>In this latest bid, the idea of holding a retreat was presented following a meeting the DP\u2019s allies held in Nairobi last week where they resolved to come up with a schedule of parallel BBI sensitisation meetings.\u201cThat to support existing efforts and complement the already scheduled rallies, we are organising rallies in other parts of the country. We shall soon announce the calendar of complementary rallies to reinforce those already published,\u201d Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen said after the meeting that lasted three hours at a Nairobi hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, MPs Kanini Kega (Kieni), Sabina Chege (Murang\u2019a), Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills), Ngunjiri Wambugu (Nyeri Town), Maina Kamanda (nominated) and Paul Mwirigi (Igembe South) said they would not attend the Naivasha meeting.National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale will also skip the forum, as he is currently in the US, while Nominated MP David Sankok said he was \u201cbusy with his personal business\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot attend such a meeting because it is not a meeting convened by the party. I don\u2019t subscribe to their approach to issues,\u201d said Mr Kega.\u201cWe know it is a Tangatanga meeting. But they should know that we are watching who will be attending that meeting.\u201dHowever, Mr Murkomen was adamant the meeting would go on as scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will be bonding. All Jubilee MPs have been invited. Those saying they have not been invited it is because they don\u2019t want to come. We will also discuss BBI. We will also talk about how MPs can organise sensitisation meetings in their constituencies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The handshake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But Mr Kamanda said the meeting is meant for a section of politicians who have been opposing the BBI and the handshake between the president and ODM leader Raila Odinga.\u201cIf the meeting was a Jubilee parliamentary group meeting, then the president or the party secretary general, Raphael Tuju, would be the convenors not Moses (Kuria) or any other fellow MP,\u201d he said.Similar sentiments were echoed by Mr Wambugu who said PG meetings are normally well structured and the conveners are known.\u201cI am not aware of any such meeting or a retreat in Naivasha. If there is, then it must be a Tangatanga outing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Keter, who said he had not received an invitation, said the country should focus on development instead of political sideshows meant to push a personal agenda.\u201cEven if they were to invite me, I would not attend. These selfish agenda are not helping this country. If there is anything that we should do as MPs, let us do it in Parliament.\u201dNakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama also distanced himself from those attending the meeting.\u201cI have not been invited. And I don\u2019t think it is a parliamentary group meeting as alleged. I\u2019m not attending,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Belgut MP Nelson Koech, a close ally of the DP, said the forum in Naivasha would bring on board like-minded leaders from across the political divide to make the most out of the BBI process.\u201cWe found it fit to put our minds together so that we can present our proposals in a structured and organised manner to the BBI team. There are pertinent issues that we note are common to all our people, irrespective of party affiliation, and that is why we have decided to approach this as a united front,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will give a detailed resolution at the end of the retreat so let me not pre-empt much. For now, just know that everyone is invited, irrespective of affiliation. We will keep expanding the invites. It is just the beginning of one of many meetings. We will make them as open as possible.\u201dAccording to Soy MP Caleb Kositany, the Naivasha retreat will deliberate on issues that affect the common mwananchi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will discuss what is pertinent to our people and the people of Kenya. We will also discuss on how to conduct parallel BBI rallies after Haji has delivered the second BBI report to Kenyans.\u201dThe Naivasha meeting comes after Mr Odinga led the third BBI consultative forum in Mombasa, which some Ruto allies attended.Murkomen, Susan Kihika (Nakuru) and Kuria had earlier termed the meetings a waste of taxpayers\u2019 money, only to change tune and attend the Mombasa rally on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opposition strongholds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Molo MP Kuria Kimani said there were issues that had come up during the past three BBI meetings held in regions perceived as opposition strongholds that had not been addressed in the first document.\u201cWe have more issues than what was given at Bomas. Mombasa led by example. (There were) many issues raised by the coastal people that are not in the BBI. As Jubilee leaders, we also have to consolidate the views of our people on what they want the BBI to address,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kimani further asked elected leaders to spearhead BBI meetings in their respective areas to ensure issues specific to their constituents are well articulated. Kimani added that in previous meetings, Jubilee leaders had not been treated as equals, which made them feel that there was need to organise their own meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey shall not necessarily be parallel meetings. We want all regions involved. The past three meetings turned out to be more NASA-led. As Jubilee, we also have a responsibility to sensitise our people. We shall not wait for them to organise meetings for us,\u201d said Kimani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A section of Jubilee MPs allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta have snubbed a retreat organised by the deputy president\u2019s camp, arguing that it had been disguised as a forum on constitutional reforms.
