Uhuru writes to terminate the membership of Sabina Chege, and Kanini Kega from the Jubilee party amid leadership wrangles.
On Friday, May 5, the Jubilee Party submitted an application to deregister Kanini Kega, an East African Legislative Assembly (MP), and Sabina Chege, a nominee for Member of Parliament.
The Jubilee Party asked the Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu to take into account removing Kega and Sabina’s names since they violated the Constitution in a four-page letter.
The Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s led party decided to terminate the membership of the two after they attempted to oust the Party Leader.
Kega and Sabina also received a copy of the letter from Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni informing them that their behavior was unacceptable within the Jubilee Party.
“This is to notify you that Honourable Kanini Kega has pursuant to Section 14 of the political parties Act No. 1 of 2011 as read together with Article 6 of the Jubilee Party Constitution ceased from being a member of the Jubilee party,” Kioni stated.
Kioni informed Kega that he was sent away for perpetual promoting of the ideologies, interests and policies of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and its affiliates.
Jubilee Party noted that Kega’s actions amounted to a violation of the law since their party did not have any coalition agreement with the UDA Party.
“Honourable Kanini Kega has contravened the party’s constitution and code of conduct by purporting to dislodge and/or overthrow the Jubilee Party leader herein being His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta without following the due process as established under the Jubilee Constitution.

The party also claimed that Kanini Kega had contravened the Jubilee Party Constitution by usurping the powers of the National Delegate Conference by conferring the Honourable Sabina Wanjiru Chege the position of Acting Party Leader.
“Kanini Kega has contravened the Jubilee’s Party Constitution by conferring unto himself the position of the Secretary-General without following the due process as laid down under the Jubilee Party Constitution,” read part of the statement.
The same allegations were also levelled against Sabina Chege, who on Thursday, May 4, claimed to be the substantive Leader of the Jubilee Party in an acting capacity.
“Honourable Sabina Wanjiru Chege has violated the Jubilee Party Constitution by usurping the powers of the National Delegates Conference by creating a non-existing position of the ‘Acting Party Leader’ a preserve of the National Delegates Conference,” read part of the letter.
Kioni further accused Sabina of misleading the public and the Kenya National Assembly that she was the Acting Party Leader.
