Showdown looms as Kanini Kega declares no Jubilee NDC while trolling Uhuru as Ruto watches
Kanini Kega slams Uhuru Kenyatta in front of Ruto as he declares there will be no Jubilee NDC slated on Monday
Kanini Kega slams Uhuru Kenyatta in front of Ruto as he declares there will be no Jubilee NDC slated on Monday.
On Sunday, May 21, member of the East African Legislative Assembly Kanini Kega took a shot at former president Uhuru Kenyatta, urging him to give up active politics and delegate control of the Jubilee party to other figures.
Kega was speaking during a Sunday service at Isiolo Boys High School, Isiolo County where President William Ruto was also present.
The legislator who also heads a Jubilee Party splinter group stated that former president Uhuru Kenyatta shouldn’t get involved in the present party squabbles and instead should use his retirement to concentrate on other concerns.
“When you retire from the office of the president you keep off matters of political party issues and allow other leaders also to serve,” he stated.
At the same time, Kega declared that there will be no Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference (NDC) on Monday as earlier indicated by the Jeremiah Kioni faction.
“I want to assure you that there will be no Jubilee party NDC tomorrow, Monday, May 22, as the party leadership we shall organize and announce the date and venue for the NDC later,” he confirmed.
Kanini Kega’s remarks came days after former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday, May 19 moved the Jubilee Party NDC from the Bomas of Kenya to Ngong Racecourse.
In a notice published by the party, Uhuru maintained that the meeting would go on as planned with the agenda remaining the same.
Uhuru signed off the notice even as he called on the delegates to attend the meeting slated for Monday, May 22.
“Notice is hereby given that the venue of the Jubilee NDC has been moved to Ngong Racecourse, Nairobi. All other details remain as per the notice published on April 29, 2023,” read the notice in part.

Uhuru’s change of venue was reached at after the party failed to secure Bomas of Kenya as the venue for the NDC.
However, despite changing the venue, the party’s Internal Dispute Resolution Committee (IDRC) maintained that the meeting called for by Uhuru would remain suspended until the dispute over the matter is determined.
“If the SNDC is allowed to proceed as scheduled the Dispute will be rendered nugatory: it is therefore in the nearest of justice that the substratum of the dispute is preserved pending its hearing and determination.
“The notice issued by the Respondent to convene a Special National Delegates Convention (SNDC) and published in the print media on 29th April 2023 by stayed and suspended pending the hearing and resolution of the dispute,” directed the committee.
Uhuru’s camp announced that the NDC would take place at the Ngong Racecourse, a private facility – a move seen as a way to counter the state machinery.
