Jubilee Party Dares Ruto-allied Legislatures to Quit Party

In a statement, the group asked the party leadership to write to the Political Parties Registrar and have them written off the list of Jubilee members.

“The Deputy President admitted that he and his team have officially adopted UDA as their party of choice ahead of next year’s elections. By that admission, they are deemed to have resigned from Jubilee Party. We are now asking the party leadership to write to the Registrar of Political Parties to strike off their names from the list of members,” read the statement in part, adding that it was time to strengthen the party without the “saboteurs”.

The group also criticized DP Ruto who on Thursday claimed the Big Four Agenda stalled after his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta started working with the opposition.

According to the caucus, Ruto sabotaged government projects in pursuit of his 2022 Presidential ambition.

“It is during the Jubilee’s first term, when the DP controlled half of the Government, that mega graft scandals rocked the Government, including the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal, the Hustler Jet scandal, Weston Hotel land grab, and the likes. It should concern Kenyans that as the DP sells his agenda, he remains mum on the action to tame graft,” added the caucus.

They also accused the DP and his allies of being hypocrites propagating for the bottom-up approach yet they were responsible for the looting of public coffers.

“It is also paradoxical that the DP has a plan to revive the very economy he and his allies have mercilessly plundered. We wish to categorically remind the DP that no economy can thrive amid deep-rooted graft,” they added.
