“Despite the ruling by the Registrar of Political Parties, ODM special envoy in Jubilee Raphael Tuju has placed a notice in Saturday papers with the irregular changes in the Jubilee National Management Committee. We are at the onset of a budget and Finance Bill process in parliament and we needed peace and space without political sideshows. Anyway, war has been declared. It will end in tears,” he posted.
The Registrar of Political Parties had temporarily stopped the anticipated change of names in Jubilee Party’s National Management Committee.
RPP Anne Nderitu halted the decision to effect the changes after 350 members of the party filed written objections with her office over the manner in which the process was carried out.
Ms Nderitu wrote to Tuju, forwarding the objections and ordering resolution of the issues the members raised in their demand for the process to be halted.
She noted that the issues must be addressed in accordance with the party’s constitution, the Political Parties Act and the conclusion filed with her office.
