Jubilee Party is in shambles - Nominated Senator Mwaura
Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura has claimed that Jubilee Party is in shambles.
Speaking to Citizen TV on Monday, Mwaura said Jubilee was formed like a party that would last long in regards to its parliamentary strength.
"This was the party to watch but the party is now in shambles; The party that promised to take the country forward. Even Nasa is now crumbling," he said.
President Uhuru Kenyatta struck a conciliatory tone at the State House talks during which Jubilee senators ratified changes in the House leadership.
Uhuru said he bears no grudges and his agenda is simply to transform the country.
In the last few months, Uhuru has sought a tighter hold over Jubilee Party as he moves to secure his legacy.
But Ruto's allies claim that Uhuru is running the party through the iron fist and his deal with Kanu is illegal.
In January, Mwaura claimed the Jubilee coalition is dead adding that it was never a party.
Mwaura said that it was clear that Jubilee is divided.
"It is clear that Jubilee is divided into two parts and the party is over, we are just hanging by bootstraps," he said.
Senator Mwaura further explained the vulnerability that befalls nominated senators in the Jubilee party.
Speaking to Citizen TV on Monday, Mwaura said nominated senators are a property to the party and can not voice their concerns.
"...you are a property of the party... that is the truth and when you don't have a strong party, then your allegiance is to the party leader," he said.
Mwaura said that when you sign up to be a nominated member you have very limited options.
"... basically it’s based on the number of seats a party has garnered in the elections. You are vulnerable and cannot make decisions when it comes to party changes," he said.
