Jubille Party National Vice Chairman David Murathe has hinted at a plan to impeach Deputy President William Ruto for undermining President Uhuru Kenyatta and failing to toe the party line.
Speaking on KTN News’ Cross Fire show on Thursday, Murathe said DP Ruto and all Jubilee MPs campaigning for UDA candidates in the forthcoming by-electins will be removed from the party.
“The eviction party from the hustler s mansion in Karen is loading, very soon there will be an eviction party,” he said.
Murathe accused Tanga Tanga leaders of provoking President Uhuru by persistently campaigning in Mt Kenya region even after he (the President) expressed reservations against the political activities.
