  1. Jubilee party woes top on Uhuru’s agenda as he jets back from France

 

As President Uhuru Kenyatta jets back today October 4th from France, he will be confronted by a Jubilee House which is in disarray following spirited efforts by his deputy William Ruto to assert his authority in the party in what secretary-general Raphael Tuju has termed as an “attempted power-grab when the boss was away”.

The Sunday Nation established that tomorrow, the Head of State is set to get a comprehensive political brief from his lieutenants after chairing the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC).

But even before President Kenyatta settles, his lieutenants have come up with ways to deal with what they term as Dr Ruto’s “sabotage.” Their plan involves kicking him out of the party, locking him out of Jubilee House in Pangani, slashing his budget and finally tabling an impeachment motion against the deputy president that will kick him out of government.

A day after the ruling Jubilee Party threatened to remove him from the deputy leader position, Deputy President William Ruto has warned his opponents of a bruising battle from the ‘hustler’ nation.
