Wednesday, May 19, 2021 - Renowned Nairobi-based lawyer, Ahmednasir Abdullahi, has mocked Jubilee Party leaders after the ruling party performed badly during the just concluded Juja by-election. In what can be described as a clean sweep, Peoples Empowerment Party(PEP) candidate, George Koimburi, has taken the seat which was left vacant following the death of Francis Waitutu.…
The party urged members of the public to treat any documents, reports or communication purporting to convey his resignation with the contempt they deserve.
Memusi said any changes in the Jubilee Party leadership will be communicated through the official Party organs, as is the norm, and as is articulated in the Jubilee Party Constitution.
The reports emerged after President Uhuru Kenyatta reportedly made a phone call to top jubilee officials including Murathe and read him the riot act over the party’s loss in the two recent by-elections held in the Mt Kenya region.
