Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has declared that he will not retire from active politics, signalling a protracted cold war with his successor,
William Ruto.
Sunday Nation has established that the former Head of State, who has taken a low profile since leaving office in August last year, has vowed to hold on to his position as leader of the Jubilee party, even at the cost of losing his retirement perks.
An angry Mr Kenyatta, our sources intimated, rubbished Friday’s Jubilee party meeting in Nakuru that expelled his close political allies, Vice Chairman David Murathe and Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni.
“Those who went to State House and later convened an illegal meeting in Nakuru should immediately resign from my party. They did not invest anything in this party and were elected on the basis of my goodwill,” President Kenyatta is quoted as saying on Friday when he spoke with his close allies.
Ex-President insists former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is still his party leader.
