Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has once again exposed the rot in President Uhuru Kenyatta-led Jubilee party, this time round hitting hard at the party’s headquarters.
The controversial lawmaker has vowed to fight for members of Jubilee Party who are being intimidated and blackmailed.
Kuria through his social media account claimed that some Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) from Jubilee are being intimidated and blackmailed by the party.
Though Kuria did not give details on the nature of the blackmail, he said the members of the Party are ready to take the Party back.
The MP urged the Jubilee MCAs not to live in fear saying they will no longer be intimidated as long as he is still alive.
“To all Jubilee MCAs countrywide. The Party HQs will no longer intimidate or blackmail you. Not as long as I live. Enough is Enough. No longer Owner-Occupier mentality in Jubilee. The tenants want their party back. Kwani iko nini?,” said Kuria.
Kuria had earlier on Saturday took a swipe at Jubilee party Secretary General Raphael Tuju and other party officials for carrying out party affairs yet they are not elected officials.
The MP said Tuju or any other member of the party who is not elected does not have any business appointing or dismissing Majority Leaders.
Kuria claimed that Tuju and his team are in office illegally saying, “the Jubilee Party had not sought from the Registrar of Political Parties an extension of the term of the interim officials.”
“For far too long, the Jubilee Secretariat has been carrying out party affairs with reckless abandon. One would be forgiven for thinking the unelected officials at the Secretariat do own the party. They exhibit an owner-occupier mentality towards Jubilee Party.”
“Even if they are the owners of the Jubilee House and we, the elected leaders are the tenants, even the tenants would have a right to purchase part of the home through a Tenant Purchase Scheme. Enough is Enough. The tenants want their party back!,” he added.
