Published on July 7, 2020, a dispute between ODM and Jubilee Party over the setup of a committee led to Minority Leader Junet Mohammed insisting on changes to the Jubilee list of membership.
Junet Mohammed, the Minority Whip in the National Assembly, has responded to claims that he said ODM plans to suspend the handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta. The claims were made by activist Ndungu Wainaina, who shared a fake tweet to his followers.
Junet Mohammed termed attempts to associate him with the fake tweets as desperation tactics. He said, 'The desperation in Tangatanga is out of this world. How many political leaders are they going to create these FAKE tweets for? Shame on you @NdunguWainaina you should be too mature for this.'
ODM Chair John Mbadi had said that the party agreed with Kimunya to make changes in the Jubilee list of membership. However, Jubilee Party Vice Chair David Murathe insisted that the issue has been sorted out and there will be no negotiations on the list.
David Murathe said, 'There is no room for further consultations…As for the other side (ODM), it is a favor we are extending by accommodating them in committee leadership posts. They cannot now come making demands and telling us who we should include. That's our business and it is concluded.'
