They should give us a break and leave the Jubilee Party alone,\u201d he tweeted on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Ruto (pictured) was, however, quick to defend President Uhuru Kenyatta, saying he had nothing to do with the illegalities and the wrangles.&#8221;The President and party leader of the Jubilee Party did not and cannot be party to any fraudulent and illegal changes to officials of our party,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a Gazette Notice dated April 6, the Registrar of Political Parties announced Jubilee\u2019s intention to change members of the National Management Committee (NMC), who would be replaced by;<\/p>\n<p>Lucy Prof Marete Marangu, Jane Nampaso, Nyawira Macharia James Waweru and Walter NyambatiThe Tangatanga wing of Jubilee led by Ruto treat the changes as an internal coup and have protested openly with the DP, Senate Majority Kikpchumba Murkomen among others protesting the move.Murkomen wrote a protest letter to the Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu and has threatened to report the matter to DCI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have performed my patriotic duty as Jubilee member and a member of Jubilee\u2019s National Executive Committee, NGC and NDC to avert fraudulent changes on the party\u2019s national management committee (NMC).<\/p>\n<p>I have written a letter to the registrar and will soon report this matter to DCI,\u201d the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator said.Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, another Ruto ally dismissed the changes, saying they were not sanctioned by relevant party organs and as such were illegal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny changes involving the party in any way must be sanctioned by relevant party organs through a formal meeting and resolutions passed,\u201d he said.Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju has, however, defended the changes saying they were necessary after some members of NMC got state appointments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe changes were effected after a number of officials landed jobs in government. The letter to make the changes was written on March 23 and noise around the reply by the registrar is unwarranted,\u201d he said.Jubilee former vice-chair David Murathe has told Ruto to face President Uhuru, saying Tuju is only acting on the Head of State\u2019s orders.\u201cTuju was merely acting on orders by President Uhuru as he had no powers to institute such changes independently. Let Ruto stop his social media rants and face the President himself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTuju cannot make changes in the party without making reference to the party leader. These fellows are wasting time,\u201d said Murathe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Deputy President William Ruto has accused conmen and political rejects of engineering the illegal and fraudulent party organ membership changes that have sparked internal squabbles in the ruling Jubilee party. \u201cThis is the works of political rejects, conmen, fraudsters whose party allegiance is already elsewhere.
