Jubilee Party has distanced itself from the Naivasha retreat held by a section of legislators allied to Deputy President William Ruto.

Through a press statement on Monday, January 28, the ruling party’s Secretary General Raphael Tuju, stated that the Naivasha retreat was not a Jubilee Parliamentary Group meeting as opposed to Gatundu South MP’s Moses Kuria prior sentiments.

“Enjoying the love, warmth and hospitality of the great people of Naivasha after the Jubilee and like-minded MPs Parliamentary Group Meeting,” Kuria wrote on his Facebook page.

Tuju explained that such an event could only be sanctioned by the party if convened under Article 9 Part 7 of the Jubilee constitution.

“For the avoidance of doubt, this is to clarify that such a meeting can not and will never qualify to be referred to as a Parliamentary Group (PG) of the party,” an excerpt of the statement read.

In addition, the meeting had to be chaired by the party leader.

“Any resolutions of any meeting not convened in accordance with the provisions of the party constitution are therefore not official party resolutions,” Tuju informed. 

The legislators had retreated to Naivasha, where they declared that they would be conducting more rallies to raise awareness on the contents of the BBI report.

Addressing the media after their meeting, Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen, announced that despite being humiliated in the recent Mombasa rally, they were going to organising future BBI regional forums across the 47 counties. 

“We propose additional rallies, to facilitate greater participation and inclusivity, so as to promote a wider understanding of the BBI document and its capture of people-centred issues.
