MT KENYA’S BID TO UNITE.

Today afternoon, Friday,27th August 2021, leaders from the Mt Kenya region met in a bid to reunite the region.

Information reaching us is that the Head of State allowed the Kieleweke Members of Parliament to remove SG Raphael Tuju and Vice chair Murathe. This is aimed at changing the leadership of the party. The members are to come up with names to replace the two within the next two weeks. The members also plan in re-branding the Jubilee Party.

On matters of forming an alliance, the President was non-committal. The members are not in to selling the ODM leader , Raila Odinga as their presidential candidate. They termed it impossible. In addition to this, the Head of State likened it to selling pork in a mosque. He however ,did not come out clear on his preffered candidate. He added that since he is not vying ,he will not be available for campaigns on a daily basis. In line to the campaign,despite having a big personal budget ,the Head of State said he is not planning to finance politics but will do that if he wants to.

Speaking about his Deputy,the President said ,he needs to brand his projects. Which he termed as being difficult ,based on the fact that his assistant has been launching them ,and it is hard to say they are his. He added that the Deputy President has ‘over-run ‘ his projects and legacy. A seemingly bitter Head of State hinted to be having a secret card against his deputy.

The Head of State also mentioned about judiciary. He said it was not properly constitueted . This makes it unfit to comment on an independent body,IEBC in this case.
