Ruto Barred from Using Jubilee Headquarters, to be Removed as Party's Deputy Leader
Deputy President William Ruto has been barred from using Jubilee Party headquarters to hold meetings meant to advance his political ambitions.
The decision was made by the Jubilee National Management Committee (NMC), which also recommended the removal of Ruto as the party’s deputy leader for allegedly launching parallel party offices dubbed Jubilee Asili.
“…the Deputy Party Leader as a self-declared Presidential Candidate for 2022 will not be allowed to use the Party headquarters as a center of operationalization of his 2022 campaign and to use the center for intimidation of any potential opponent or Party staff…. It is no longer tenable for the DP to use the Party platform including statements from the Party Headquarters to advance his divisive so-called hustler politics that are counter to the Party and Presidents platform of uniting the country, the fight against corruption, and the agenda four items,” Jubilee secretary-general Raphael Tuju told a media briefing on Friday.
“…the NMC has recommended to the NEC that the DP ceases to be Deputy Party Leader after he opened the so-called Jubilee Asili offices that is reserved for him and his allies until such a time that this development of Jubilee Asili is discussed at the NEC,” Tuju added.
The development comes a day after Ruto stormed the party’s headquarters in Pangani, Nairobi, and hosted over 30 MPs in what Tuju described as an “attempted power grab.”
“Yesterday, the DP turned up at the Party Headquarters with more than 30 MPs many of them known avowed abusers of the President. These are the same fowl mouthed MPs that are on record attacking government programs like the Huduma number.”
“It is disturbing that the Deputy President invites this same retinue to the Party Headquarters to give them a platform to increase polarization in the Party. Indeed, that move of inviting MPs allied to him almost created an ugly confrontation with close to 40 MPs not allied to him who also wanted to storm the headquarters,” added Tuju.
He also took issue with Ruto’s decision to express a dissenting view on the party’s decision not to field a candidate in the upcoming Msambweni by-election and further endorsing an independent candidate.
DP Ruto was also faulted for skipping Monday’s Covid-19 conference where he was expected to give remarks before inviting the President to read his speech.
“For such travesty, the only thing we have received from the DPs camp are tweets from his allies rubbing salt into the injury,” said Tuju.
“We have witnessed the unprovoked and inexplicable abuse of Former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta by political allies of the Deputy Party Leader and the subsequent response by Hon. Ruto that exhibited not an ounce of contrition. Some of the abuses have been expressed in the most primitive and vulgar.”

This is what you get when you have Tuju and Murathe at the helm. They should consider dissolving the Presidency, along with the parliament.
This is what Ruto gets for acting like a monkey! The dude is so uncivilized to say the least.
Your Name betrays you .
And your name double betrays you worse than that of a thieving Ruto! You are the Alfa and omega of thieves!
Hebu tuache mambo ya siasa kwa wakati huu na kutilia mkazo wa kuvaa barakoa kwenye mikutano yote ya hadharani. Kama ntu yeyote atakataa kuvaa barakoa, asiruhusiwe kuhudhuria. Ni lazima aambiwe kuondoka mara moja.
Let us leave alone politics for a moment and emphasize the importance of wearing a facemasks in all public meetings. If anyone refuses to wear one, s/he should not be allowed to attend and required to leave immediately.
Mara kwa mara,nimemwona makamu wa rais akihutubia mikutano ya siasa iliyo na watu wengi ambao wamesongamana na huku hawajavaa barakoa. Akifanya hivyo tena, ni lazima ashikwe mara moja na kuhukumiwa ipasavyo. Kufanya mikutano kama anavyofanya, inahatarisha afya ya umma na pia usalama wa taifa zima.
Quite often, I have seen the vice president holding large public rallies where people are close together without observing social distancing or wearing face masks. If he repeats this behavior again, he should be arrested immediately and sentenced accordingly. By holding large meetings without observing health protocols, he is a danger to our national security and a threat to the public health.
What then should happen to Raila and Atwoli?
Arap rootall ruto is inventing tactics of "lootalling the jubillee party headquarters....if he clinches the presidency his thirstyness of looting will creep its tentacles into pockets of the public like pickpocketers after finishing the government coffers with his cronies....raia be wary of this man.
Ruto deserve to be treated with iron gloves! No body should stop at anything in the quest to fire Ruto!
He needs to form his own party and quit Jubilee their actions have demonstrated he is not wanted but being the thug he is he is not willing to forfeit his half a million salary as DP,he is daring Uhuru to fire him .Uhuru needs to make an example of him this nomadic lot are trouble they believe in scorched earth policy they would rather destroy from within rather than rebuild.
Ruto brought His Members of URP Party and Uhuru brought His members of TNA Party joined them together and formed Jubilee Party. those who are Championing His removal, have they considered that President of the Party will be the last to sign the removal document, now can you see the picture of Uhuru signing the Final Verdict for Someone they walked together to form this Government. People are cheating their own minds.
As a taxpayer I am forced by the useless katiba to sponsor JUBILEE & ODM athough I am not a member of any these private polical parties.But the simple question is-Who elected broadcaster Tuju as JUBILEE party sec gen?Remember Tuju was rejected by Kisumu voters for not worshiping their god,Raila.He was appointed by it's owners(majambazi Uhuru & Ruto) to an acting capacity.I just wonder how he can ban one of the owners,Ruto.Monster Raila is now the happiest thug in Kenya for breaking JUBILEE which drunkard Uhuru does not realise.
