You will be surprised to see Raila sworn in – Jubilee SG Jeremiah Kioni
Jeremiah Kioni, Jubilee Secretary-General has expressed confidence Raila Odinga will be sworn in as President.
Speaking to NTV Kenya on Monday, August 22, Jubilee Party secretary-general Jeremiah Kioni said that the Supreme Court would rule in favour of Raila’s presidential election petition.
“If you look keenly at our petition as Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party, you will be shocked to realize that Raila will be soon sworn in as the fifth president,” Kioni said.
He added that it is only Raila who has what it takes to pick up from where President Uhuru Kenyatta has left and continue with the Jubilee Party development agenda.
“As a party, would like to see that all the development projects that had been started by the Jubilee government are completed. Raila has a good focus and vision for our country. We need to build and continue from where we have left,” he explained.
Kioni, the outgoing Ndaragwa MP, also defended Uhuru’s move to revamp the ruling Jubilee Party in the run-up to the August 9 General Election.
“Reviving Jubilee towards the 2022 General Election was not a mistake. In fact, it was the expectation of the outgoing Deputy President William Ruto that Jubilee would never be revived.
He felt as if the development record of Jubilee was going to be an enormous burden for him and true to this, he campaigned against the same government that he has been serving,” Kioni said.
The lawmaker lauded Uhuru for not disbanding Jubilee.
“Why were we going to disband Jubilee, yet we didn’t have a presidential candidate? Jubilee is a party that has brought a lot of development in our country and we cannot disband it because some people want us to,” he added.
