Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru has taken aim at Jubilee Vice Chair David Murathe, accusing him of undermining the party's leadership and benefiting financially from the fallout between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto.
Speaking in Laikipia on November 6, 2021, Waruguru claimed that Murathe and other top officials in the party have been blocking elected Members of Parliament and Governors from reaching President Kenyatta.
Waruguru questioned why party officials would deny elected members access to the President, alleging that Murathe and his team have benefitted financially from the Head of State's fallout with his deputy.
"What was your sole intention in breaking the Jubilee Party? Was this not an issue that could have been discussed and solved in State House?" Waruguru wondered, accusing Murathe and his team of colluding to mess up the party and siphon funds.
Waruguru maintained she will support DP Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid, despite initially being part of the President's campaign team in 2020.
Her defection followed shortly after the Jubilee Party lost the Kiambaa Parliamentary seat to United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a loss that put the President's wing on a false start in the 2022 polls.
