A section of Tanga Tanga members, a Jubilee Party faction associated with Deputy President William Ruto are now blaming Raila Odinga-led ODM party for their woes.
The Tanga Tanga group over the weekend held a retreat meeting in Naivasha which they termed as Jubilee party Parliamentary Group meeting.
However, their meeting was on Monday evening dismissed by Jubilee party Secretary General Raphael Tuju.
Tuju through a notice issued on Monday evening said the Naivasha meeting convened by members of its Tanga Tanga faction, was not a PG meeting.
Tuju said that such a meeting cannot and will never qualify to be a PG meeting.
According to Tuju, a PG meeting is only valid when it is convened and chaired by party leader or such other person whom the party leader may delegate the role.
He added that any resolutions of any meeting not convened in accordance with party’s provisions are not official party’s resolutions.
However, Nandi County Senator Samson Cherargei who is a tanga tanga member that was present in Naivasha retreat meeting says that Tuju is pushing an ODM narrative.
He accuses Tuju of working together with the enemies who are plotting to kill Jubilee.
According to Cherargei, their enemies fear that Jubilee has become a formidable political party with a national outlook.
“Tuju is pushing an ODM narrative & he is in bed with enemies & merchants who want to kill jubilee. they fear that jubilee has become a formidable political party with a national outlook.
I didn’t know being a CS without a portfolio is this idle,” he tweeted.
The Tanga Tanga MPs had announced the beginning of their own BBI rallies after the retreat.
The MPs said that the first rally will be held in Nakuru County on February 8, 2020.
The group outlined that the ongoing rallies spear-headed by handshake partner Raila Odinga have proved to be politically inclined.
The MPs noted that part of their recommendations on the BBI report include a 5% allocation of the national budget to go to farmers in Kenya.
They also recommended another 5% to be allocated to the unemployed or job seeking graduates in Kenya as a stipend to cater for their needs before they get a stable source of income.
Lastly, the Tanga Tanga squad recommended 3.5% allocation of the national budget to be directed to of the Judiciary arm of government for it to act independently.
