“This was a simple procedure of the party leader replacing vacant party positions within the NMC, Ms Shukri and Ms Mutua have since joined the government and therefore could not hold the positions in the party,” said Tuju.
The sentiments by the Jubilee party Secretary-general was echoed by Mr. David Murathe who resigned as the party vice-chairman but his resignation allegedly rejected by president Uhuru Kenyatta
“Tuju is not a mad man, he was obviously under instructions of the party leader, so if the move was was a fraud as they claim, it is the President and party leader they should direct their wrath to,” said Murathe.
KDRTV confirmed that over 100 Members of Parliament and who are allied to the Deputy President William has written to the Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu opposing the change of the officials.

However, Deputy President William Ruto said in his tweet that some cartel is dedicated to edge him out of the party.
“The President and party leader of JP did NOT and CANNOT be a party to any FRAUDULENT and ILLEGAL changes to officials of our party. This is the works of political rejects, conmen & fraudsters who’s party allegiance is already elsewhere. They should give us a break and leave JP alone, (sic)” Ruto wrote.
