CORD DEFECTORS REGRETS WHY THEY JOINED JUBILEE

Led by Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka and former Kibwezi MP Kalembe Ndile the leaders had organized a press conference to issue demands to President Kenyatta and William Ruto which they later cancelled

According to a report by the Standard, Mr Ndile who was previuosly in The Independent Party stated that they were planning to tell Mr Kenyatta and Ruto to ensure proper communication was done in electing Party officials who are yet to be announced.

 “We want to tell the President and his deputy that they should consult extensively before they arrive at the list of those to run the national office. We are opposed to a situation where names will just be read without our knowledge, Ndile was quoted.

 The former assistant minister complained that Kenyatta and his deputy had never spoken to them since the much publicised celebration at Kasarani Stadium, lauchimg the Grand Merger “Since we left Kasarani, we have not heard anything and our supporters are becoming restless and wondering why they dissolved their parties just to be inactive.


Our members want direction,” Ndile said. “We want things to run smoothly and we contributed two-thirds of the delegates and engaged in the building of the party leadership, we gave Kenyatta our parties in good faith and without conditions and all we are asking for is to be consulted in naming of the officials,” he noted.

 In September, Kenyans.co.ke reported that the Jubilee Party had suffered a major setback after the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal extended orders stopping its merger with PNU. The tribunal suspended the dissolution and merger of PNU into the Jubilee Party until a case filed before it is heard and determined.
