Deputy President William Ruto's launch of the Jubilee Asili Center has sparked a heated reaction from Jubilee Party vice-chairman David Murathe, who claims the move is a sign of the party's success in ridding itself of 'political leprosy'.
According to Murathe, who made the comments on Facebook on June 19, 2020, the party had successfully managed to weed out the 'political leprosy' that had been attacking President Uhuru's agenda.
For a very long time, Uhuru's Jubilee Party agenda has been attacked by a political leprosy by the name jubilee Asili. But, after massive fumigations, we have successfully separated and our focus now is delivery of services and ensuring we unite this country, Murathe stated.
He added: We are therefore urging patriots to refrain from contracting this disease.
The Jubilee Asili Centre, launched by Ruto on June 18, 2020, in Nairobi's Kilimani area, will serve as a meeting place for DP Ruto allies who have been denied access to the Jubilee Party headquarters in Pangani, according to Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen.
It is the Centre for Jubilee Party members who believe in the original idea of the party, including the implementation of the promises we gave to the people, Murkomen said.
