Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju has reveald the real reason behind the wrangles being witnessed in the ruling party.
According to Tuju, the troubles began after the handshake between Orange Democrativ Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking during one of the popular radio shows Wednesday morning, Tuju said that the people opposed to the truce between Uhuru and Raila had orchestrated the current infighting in the party.
The anti-handshake team, he said, have regrouped and are now rocking the Jubilee ship from within.
Deputy President William Ruto and his men believe the Uhuru wing teamed up with Raila to scuttle his 2022 bid.
Tuju spoke during Ramogi Baraza, a popular Dholuo talk show focusing on current affairs in the country.
Tuju also disclosed that all key decisions within the party are sanctioned by the President.
Ruto and his allies have always singled out the SG for attacks, sometimes claiming his heart is in ODM.
But according to Tuju, the Jubilee Party constitution gives the President immense powers as the party leader.
“As the secretary general of the Jubilee Party, there is nothing I just wake up and do. Everything I do is after consultation with the President who is my boss,” Tuju said
Just recently, Ruto termed Tuju and other Jubilee top brass “crooks and heartless gangsters”.
The remarks came after the ruling party announced plans to make changes to the National Management Committee.
The new officials were installed last week despite Ruto’s protestations.
Tuju described his relationship with Ruto as cordial.
