Jubilee Removes Deputy President William Ruto from Top Party Position

The Jubilee Party’s National Management Committee (NMC) has resolved to remove Deputy President William Ruto as the party’s deputy leader.

Jubilee secretary-general Raphael Tuju said the NMC, which is the second most powerful organ of the ruling party, decided to fire Ruto for sabotaging the party.

Ruto has been accused of violating the Jubilee Party’s constitution and associating himself with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

The NMC has forwarded its verdict to the National Executive Council (NEC), the party’s highest decision-making organ.

“The NMC discussed the matter and resolved to remove the DP as per the party constitution. The matter is active; we have the recommendations of NMC and now only waiting for the party leader to convene an NEC meeting to deliberate on the matter,” Tuju told The Standard.

Ruto’s fate lies with President Kenyatta, who is the Jubilee Party leader and chair of the NEC whose decision is final.

Early this month, the NMC announced the removal of Soy MP Caleb Kositany as Jubilee Party deputy secretary-general. Kositany, a close ally of Ruto, was replaced by his Cherangany MP Joshua Kuttuny.

Kenyatta and Ruto have had a strained relationship in recent months fueled by the latter’s decision to conduct early 2022 campaigns and his stand on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

JUBILEE is owned by majambazi Uhuru and Ruto on 50/50 basis.Tuju like Oloo is working for muuaji Raila hoping to recapture the Kisumu seat he lost in 2007 elections.The 2010 poop Katiba is so complicated that you can’t remove the deputy president and leave the president but you can impeach the president alone.Toa jambazi Ruto,call for presidential elections as they were elected together.I wish hungry billionaires woke up and eject these Hyenas and vultures NOW.

Very nice! It is time for him to go! Ruto always cares about Ruto! He should be fired as the DO of the Republic of Kenya! Kenya deserves a working DP instead of a campaigner in chief! Ruto is a very useless man! All he knows is corruption of the highest order; a big thief who is cia tailed by other thieves like Rigathi, Sonko, Waititu, Ndindi nyoro, etc! Kenya will benefit greatly without a thief in the second position! Fire and put in jail!

The more you act harsh on Ruto, the stronger he will become. You are indirectly campaigning for Ruto. But kindly, kindly, do not go back to political assassinations of Mboya, JM Kariuki and Ouko. It hurts so bad.

Ruto’s big problem is his self defeating attitude and his desire to undermine others for his own benefit! No now is interested in assassinating a loser! He has assassinated many others (Juma, Yebei, Muteshi, muijali, kinei etc!

The Vision of the Jubilee Party is carried by its members. We need to continue to ensure that the drive of Kenyan Politics is this idea of Peace and Development. Advocating for Peace among the tribes on one hand and Engaging in the Development of the Country on the other hand. Political vehicles may change ,but the Vision Lives On.

He cannot be Deputy president and also be in another party URP.Yes he can and should be fired .Enough of the antics free him to go campaign he even snobs important meetings and then claims he was not invited.The sooner all these MPIGS declare their stand the more time the public will have to see their true colors.Enjoy the free goodies they hand out during election time and then vote them out.

Now remove Ruto from the DP position! This guy has been a conman since 1992! Moi taught him well how to steal! His bank accounts should be frozen and all the property repossessed by the government! Thieves do not have a place in our country!

Ruto is unfireable due to constitution. Tuju trying to intimidate an elected leader yet he's a loser. Only way is dialogue with Uhuru. Yes he's campaigning early bc Uhuru showed his true lies and colors too soon. Jubilee is dead so vision is dead too. It will be rudderless govt until 22
