Published on October 20, 2019, an Auditor-General Report revealed that President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee party is facing significant financial challenges.
The report, dated June 30, 2018, showed that the party's liabilities stood at Ksh133 million, while its assets totaled Ksh66 million, leaving a substantial deficit.
According to the report, the party's financial struggles have led to allegations that it is unable to pay its rent, staff, and other critical operational costs.
Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju, however, defended the party's financial situation, stating that it had received its share of the political party allocation from the exchequer and was able to pay its bills and run its programs.
Tuju also claimed that the party's bank accounts were in a positive position, and that it could account for the money received from the political parties' registrar, with most elected members paying their dues, often deducted at source.
