President Uhuru Kenyatta will host Jubilee Party Senators to a parliamentary group meeting on Monday, May 10, 2022. The meeting is scheduled to kick off at 8am, according to Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju.
The agenda of the meeting remains unclear, but speculation suggests that the President may use the forum to address issues with legislators who are opposed to his handshake pact with Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
The ruling party has 34 Senators in the Upper House and enjoys the support of the KANU, represented by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and West Pokot's Samuel Poghisio.
The meeting comes days after a group of Senators expressed their displeasure with rules developed by Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka to guide the business of the House during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis period.
