Kenyatta who was visibly angered questioned why the police meddled with the internal affairs of the Jubilee party further disrupting the peace and serene in the community neighboring the party headquarters.
“This property is not ours we have only rented it. We have neighbors surrounding this building yet you have thrown teargas at them so that you can take the house by force. That’s not right, that’s not the law,” he said.
Police were forced to lob teargas outside the party headquarters to disperse supporters of Jeremiah Kioni and Kanini Kega who are fighting over a party takeover.
This comes as Kega and Kanini clashed over who is the bonafide Secretary-General of the former ruling party.
Jubilee Party Vice-Chairman Adan Keynan said the fate of besieged Kioni lies with the party’s internal dispute resolution committee.
This is after the Political Parties Tribunal declined to quash NEC’s resolution that installed EALA MP Kanini Kega as his replacement.
In its judgment delivered on April 16, the tribunal said that the notice for the National Executive Committee meeting issued on February 2 and the subsequent NEC meeting on February 10 which imposed Kega was done in accordance with the party Constitution.
On his part, Kega, an EALA MP laughed at Kenyatta’s visit to the party offices claiming that if he had dedicated as much energy during the 2022 campaigns as he has done for Kioni many leaders from the mountain region would not have lost their seats.
Kega, the former Kieni constituency lawmaker listed leaders who in his opinion could have won various political seats.
They range from Governors, Senators, and Women Representatives to Members of the National Assembly.
He maintained he is the acting Jubilee party Secretary General and vows to keep Championing for the party agenda.
On his side are several party leaders, most of whom have warmed up to the Kenya Kwanza administration.
