Jubilee senators are today (Monday May 11, 2020) meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi.

The meeting is said to be a parliamentary group meeting where major changes in Jubilee House leadership will be announced.

On the list of changes, Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen is expected to be replaced.

It is expected that West Pokot Senator Samuel Poghisio will replace the Elgeyo Marakwet senator as the Senate Majority Leader as Uhuru purges rebels, many of them allies of Deputy President William Ruto.

Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata is also set to occupy his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika as the Majority Chief Whip while Kang’ata’s place will be given to Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja.

Susan is a strong supporter of DP Ruto’s 2022 presidential candidate.

The changes come in wake of a coalition agreement signed between former ruling party KANU and Jubilee Party which has since been deposited with Registrar of Political Parties.

Kanu’s Poghisio is being rewarded for his loyalty to Uhuru through Baringo Senator Gideon Moi’s party.

According to People Daily, Gideon, a fierce rival of Ruto, is likely to be a big beneficiary of the new alignments.

DP Ruto is expected to attend Monday’s Jubilee meeting alongside the party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju.

Murkomen and Kihika are being accused of defying President Kenyatta’s call to stop early 2022 campaigns.
