On June 22, 2020, Jubilee Party Vice Chairman David Murathe issued a stern warning to party members ahead of the upcoming Jubilee Parliamentary Group Meeting.
The meeting, scheduled to take place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), was called by party leader President Uhuru Kenyatta.
According to Murathe, members who fail to attend the meeting will face disciplinary action, as outlined in the Jubilee Party Act.
“Missing tomorrow’s PG meeting should not come to anyone’s mind. Disciplinary actions is crystal clear in Jubilee Party Act to those who are deviating from fundamental requirements of the party,” Murathe said in a message on his Facebook page.
Members who missed a previous PG at State House, mainly nominated Senators, faced disciplinary action.
Party sources indicate that the key agenda item for Monday’s PG is to announce new House leadership members after 16 were de-whipped over divided loyalty, with Majority Leader Aden Duale topping the list.
Analysts see the move as a scheme to organize himself ahead of the 2022 presidential election, having lost grip of the current party which gave them power.
Opinion was divided on whether Duale will survive, even as more than 130 MPs petitioned the party leader to kick him out.
