Uhuru Visits Jubilee Party Headquarters Following a Stand-off
Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday made an impromptu visit to Jubilee Party headquarters in Kileleshwa after two groups clashed.
Chaos erupted after factions led by East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Kanini Kega and former Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni clashed over the party leadership.
Police were forced to lob teargas outside the party’s officers to disperse the warring groups.
Kioni and Kega are fighting for control of the former ruling party, with the former refusing to step down as the Secretary General to make way for the latter.
On February 9th, Jubilee Party's National Executive Council made changes to the outfit’s leadership, replacing Kioni with Kega.
The Registrar of Political Parties approved the changes but the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal overturned them.
Addressing reporters at the party’s headquarters, Kenyatta said those seeking to leave the party should exit in a peaceful manner.
“Those who want to leave Jubilee Party should do so in peach. We do not have a fight with anyone, we are protecting our party,” he said.
Kenyatta, who left office last September, also appeared to castigate the government over the violation of people’s rights and urged police to avoid being used to settle political scores.
“The police have other work to do and should not come here (Jubilee headquarters) to try to disturb officials and steal their party. Everyone has their rights,” he added.

Uongozi mtamu kweli kweli. Pesa za bure, marupu rupu ya bure, maamuzi inayolegea maslahi yako, ulinzi wa bure, POMBE YA BWERERE, kitoweo cha sifa kutoka pembe zote, usafiri wa bure, uongozi kutumiwa vibaya na waporaji wakiwemo familia yake, utepetezaji, matumizi ya kiholela holela ya mali ya umma, udaku, ushagra bagla, kinyongo, kiburi, na kadhalika. Familia yake ililindwa na mwizi Moi kwa miaka 24, Kibaki miaka, binafsi kalinda mamake mwizi hodari, akiwemo nduguye Muhuhu kwa miaka yake 10,...halafu wakiwa na imani kali, wakatumaini Raila ataendeleza hila na nia zao. Wapiga kura wakavunja barika. Wakakubaliana LA HASHA!! Eti kwamba serikali huwa ya mwananchi. Kwamba sio lazima wale wale, wao wao, kwao kwao, wawe viongozi. Kisa na maana? Viongozi wa Kenya lazima watoke kutoka familia ya Kenyatta, Kibaki, Moi, Odinga, Koinange, Kihika, Sharif Nassir, Ruto, Mutavati, Ntimama, na wengineo. Diposa kwa mara ya kwanza, Mama Ngina anasikika akinuna nuna. Ni yapi yanayomvyonza roho? Mbona hamaki? Ni kutokuwa hawakuwa wanalipa kodi kama raia wengine? Unapisikia mbio ya mgambo ikilia, hakika kuna jambo. Ningalikuwa Uhuru, ningestaafu na kudidimia chini kwa miaka kadhaa. Kisa kilinifanya nijiulize, Lo! Wale askari wa usalama aliokuwa anawatumia kuhangaisha wengine, amri tena hana. Tazama sura yake ilivyo. Kisanga chenyewe chaonyesha wazi kama pale mwanaume anachukuwa hatamu ya kwako nyumbani, bila arifa bila onyo.
