A seemingly angry powerful Deputy President William Ruto’s ally has dismissed Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju’s decision on party changes.
The party’s Deputy Secretary General Caleb Kositany has moved to reverse Tuju’s decision to publish in local dailies the changes made to the party’s top organ, which had been highly protested by DP Ruto and his allies.
In a notice that appeared in the Standard and Nation newspapers on Saturday, Tuju confirmed that the decision to bring in new members to the party’s NMC had been sanctioned.
The members include: Lucy Macharia, Walter Nyambati, Marete Marangu, James Waweru and Jane Nampaso.
However, in a statement, Kositany dismissed Tuju’s notice, saying that he had no powers to make such decision.
According to Kositany, a key ally of Deputy President William Ruto, the decision to make changes to the party’s NMC should be approved by the National Executive Committee.
Both the President and his deputy are the members of the NEC, the party’s top decision-making organ.
” The said notice has not been sanctioned by the National Executive Committee as per the demands of Article 7 of the Constitution. It is therefore null and void. The National Management Committee is the creation of the NEC and any changes therein can only be effected after an official notice of a NEC meeting,” Kositany said.
Kositany further dismisses Tuju as a con artist in the party.
