Retired president Uhuru Kenyatta today cracked the whip to discipline unfaithful Jubilee party members replacing them with a new list of officials.
The party leader removed the following individuals from their various positions: Jimmy Angweny, Former Buuri MP Boniface Kinoti Gatobu, Naomi Shaban, Nelson Dzuya, Joshua Kutuny, Mutava Musyimi, and East African Legislative Assembly MP Kanini Kega. This was done through Jubilee’s Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni.
Joel Kibe, Advice Mundalo, Wambui Gichuru, the executive director, and Rachael Nyamaye were also not exempt.
Replacements
To replace the ten members: the Jubilee Party’s proposed names included;
Deputy Party Leader Strategy: Beatrice Gambo
Deputy Party Leader Operations: Maoka Maore
Deputy Party Leader Programs Joseph Manje
Deputy Party Leader Outreach – Kados Muiruri
Party Chairman- Saitoti Torome (former PS)
Deputy Secretary General – Yasir Noor
Deputy Organising Secretary – Pauline Njoroge
National Director of Elections – Jamleck Kamau
Women’s League National Chairperson – Maison Leshomo
Youth league, National chairperson – Agnes Thumbi

Parliamentary Secretary – Amina Siyad
“All Jubilee members who openly promoted the policies of other parties outside of Azimio coalition be deemed to have ceased from Jubilee and be removed from the register of members,” Kioni stated.
Uhuru informed the disobedient members during his address that they did not speak for the bulk of the party’s members and read them the riot act.
“Those who got the few positions Jubilee had to share are now telling us they will give the party direction. No, their job is to stand firm and defend Jubilee’s manifesto or step aside and give us a chance to select replacements,” Uhuru stated.
He also denied rumors that he would leave politics and stated that as the party’s leader, he would continue to fight for the party’s objectives.
“I thought I should retire from politics but others decided to threaten me. I’m telling them today to look for another person, not Uhuru Kenyatta. If you behave like thugs, we will treat you as such.”
“They used to insult me while I stayed silent, They’ve stolen goats and burnt farms thinking they will intimidate me, but the people who gave me this party told me to protect it and I will do so until they select another party leader,” he warned.
