Thursday, May 4, 2023 –Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s lackluster behavior in giving Jubilee Party the required leadership and direction led to his recent ouster as party leader
Former Murang’a County Woman Representative Sabina Chege now says Uhuru’s way of doing things led to her moving out of the Azimio Camp for William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza coalition but, as well, still in Jubilee to save it from collapse.
According Chege, Uhuru looked like a man who was silently betraying Azimio’s course; if the way he handled the elections is anything one can adduce judgment from.
Chege, now Jubilee Party caretaker leader, has told Inooro Tv, that their dalliance with Azimio ahead of the general election was because Uhuru was looking weak and the only option was for them to join Raila’s side which looked abit stronger to faceoff with Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza.
“As for the Jubilee Party, if we stayed in Azimio, we would have died. If we hunted alone, we would have died. We thought it prudent to create an independent tact, supported by our friends, so that we could go out to hunt in good health, with full stomachs,” she said.
Asked who is now the kingpin in their Mt. Kenya Region, the Nominated lawmaker said Rigathi Gachagua is currently their supremo.
“No ceremony is needed to know that Mr Gachagua is the kingpin of Mt Kenya by virtue of the political position he occupies,” she said.
She argued that Kenyatta’s reign had overseen a downward trajectory that had since left Jubilee and all those who were in it badly exposed.
She also challenged Mr. Kenyatta to accept that the law does not allow him to run any active politics in the country. This she described it as high-level ignorance even after one is abandoned by the law.
“The law is not on his side. Six months outside State House disqualifies him from being our party leader. He is yet to write a letter to explain that he is still an active politician,” she said as quoted in the Nation.Africa.
The politician accused Mr Kenyatta of being an absentee leader who has been suffering from indecisiveness for some time now.
Chege added that Uhuru abandoned them long ago to a point they were left alone in negotiating Parliamentary leadership positions with Azimio MPs.
