on WhatsApp“The Jubilee Party is clear: these attacks against former President Uhuru Kenyatta are attempts to create a scapegoat for a government that has lost public confidence. Those invoking our leader’s name should stop,” Matiang’i said.He cited rampant corruption, economic decline, punitive taxation and incompetence as reasons for the government’s unpopularity, accusing its allies of resorting to propaganda and character assassination instead of accountability.Matiangi added that Jubilee is reorganising, rebuilding and reclaiming its place in country’s political future through nationwide membership drives and transparent engagement with aspirants. He questioned why a promised commission of inquiry into state capture has not been formed.“We will form strategic alliances with progressive parties, civil society and Kenyans of goodwill to reclaim good governance and the rule of law,” he said.Jubilee Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni noted thatUhuru fully supportedthe late Raila Odinga in the 2022 elections, contrasting this with ODM faction members who prioritize power over principle. He emphasized that Kenyans are politically aware and will not fall for fabricated narratives.Kioni also criticised National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohammed for raising concerns publicly instead of approaching Uhuru directly.Former Murang’a Senator Kembi Gitura reminded that Jubilee worked well with ODM under the Azimio Coalition.Speaking at the burial of former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, Uhuru warned ODM leaders against invoking his name in party affairs.
