President Uhuru Kenyatta has yet again convened another top Jubilee party meeting.
The head of state is set to meet with Jubilee’s key decision-making panel, the National Management Committee.
According to a local daily, President Kenyatta will chair the NMC meeting on Thursday at State House. Members of the parliamentary leadership have been invited.
The meeting is a precursor to a Parliamentary Group Meeting to be held on June 2, when the National Assembly reconvenes from a one-month recess.
This will be the first NMC meeting since President Kenyatta seized control of Jubilee Party from Ruto’s grip after a successful ‘coup’ last month.
Ruto on Thursday last week lost his case before the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal where he was challenging reconstitution of the NMC.
It is not clear if the DP and his allies would attend the crucial meeting on Thursday to endorse sweeping changes to the National Assembly leadership and approve the President’s working relationship with the opposition.
On Monday Jubilee Party secretary-general Raphael Tuju confirmed the President had called for the meeting, which he termed “critical” to the party’s ongoing housecleaning.
Tuju confirmed the ongoing purge in Parliament targeting members considered disloyal to the President would continue until the Jubilee house is in order.
National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale, Majority Whip Benjamin Washiali and Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata, as well as Senate Majority leader Samuel Poghisio, are among those expected to attend.
NMC members include chairman Nelson Dzuya, Tuju and five newly appointed members.
They are Lucy Macharia, Marete Marangu, Walter Nyambati, Jane Nampaso and James Waweru.
Ruto’s ally Albert Mutai, who is the Jubilee national treasurer, is also a member of the NMC by virtue of his position.
