July 7, 2019 - A growing faction of Jubilee Party leaders has urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve the cabinet, citing division and suspicion among cabinet secretaries.
Led by Nominated MP Maina Kamanda, the leaders expressed their concerns during a Sunday service at the ACK Riabai Church in Kiambu County.
‘I am telling the President that currently his Cabinet is already divided. If I was him, I would dissolve the entire Cabinet and constitute a new one to have 100% loyalty from the Cabinet members,’ said Kamanda.
The call comes amid an ongoing investigation into claims of an alleged plot to assassinate Deputy President William Ruto, which has been linked to four cabinet secretaries and a section of leaders from the Mt. Kenya region.
Deputy Governor James Nyoro also weighed in, accusing the DP and his tangatanga movement of engaging in politics instead of focusing on development agenda.
‘We cannot continue focusing on campaigns until 2022. We are following what the president is saying. Where he leads us, that is the direction we shall take,’ said Nyoro.
Meanwhile, the DP visited churches in Eldama Ravine and Mogotio Constituencies in Baringo County, urging Jubilee party leaders to shun washing their dirty linen in public when it comes to party matters.
