Former Kibwezi MP Kalembe Ndile Threatens to Ditch Jubilee If President Uhuru Doesn’t Give Him a Job

Former Kibwezi MP Kalembe Ndile has asked President Kenyatta to fulfill his promise of giving him a state job.

Ndile says the President and Deputy President William Ruto promised to incorporate him in government after rallying behind them during last year's elections.

The former Tip Tip party leader further claims that the ruling party has sidelined the national steering committee, which he is a member of, since winning the election.

He has threatened to lead his delegation in walking out of the party if he is not given the position he was promised during the campaign period.

“The key decisions of the party are now made by two people; Party Secretary Raphael Tuju and Deputy Chairman David Murathe. The rest of us have been kicked out and we have no say,” Ndile told Nation, adding that his calls to Jubilee leadership went unanswered.

Tip Tip was among over 10 political outfits which folded to form Jubilee party ahead of the 2017 elections.

“I was promised a job in government once Jubilee captured the second term but now I have been left in the cold. To make matter worse I’m more learned than some of the cabinet secretaries who were appointed without toiling for Jubilee,” said Ndile.

Ndile also claims that Jubilee has split into three factions; one loyal to the President, another to the DP, while the last one tilts towards Opposition leader Raila Odinga.

“In Jubilee we have a faction that supports DP Ruto, the other one is behind President Uhuru and third one is loyal to Mr Odinga,” claimed Mr Ndile.

“I have called each of the 3,000 delegates I took to Kasarani when we attended the launch of Jubilee advising them to disassociate themselves with the ruling party,” he added.
