New Jubilee SG Jeremiah Kioni leads campaigns in Othaya

The recently re-launched Jubilee Party has continued with its popularization campaigns in Nyeri County.

The team, led by its new Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, the Director of Elections Kanini Kega, former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth and a host of other legislators were in Othaya on Monday where leaders maintained that the ruling party is alive and well and it will be back at the helm of the regional and national politics.

The leaders used the meeting to popularize the Azimio la Umoja movement.

“Miaka minne na nusu kuna wale ambao waliamua ya kwamba hawataki kufanya kazi...kazi yao imekuwa ni kutembea Kenya hii kueneneza uvumi na uongo. Kwa sababu wanajua sasa tutazunguka kusema ukweli wa mambo ya ile kazi imekuwa ikifanywa kwa miaka hiyo yote,” said Kioni.

The Ndaragwa legislator made light the forays made by Deputy President William Ruto into the vote-rich region, saying the Kenya Kwanza team is now in panic mode.

“Sasa wameanza wasi wasi na mambo ya matusi, na hii matusi tumeyaskia hapo mbeleni… na ni vizuri pia serikali ichukie hatua kwa watu ambao wanaanza kuleta matusi Kenya kwa sababu hapo mbeleni tunajua kwamba matusi ilituletea shida,” he said.

At the same meeting, former Gatanga lawmaker Peter Kenneth who has been fronted as a possible Raila Odinga running mate, made a case for Odinga, asking the region to back President Uhuru Kenyatta's effort of bringing the country together.

“Chama ya Jubilee ilifanya NDC…chama ya ODM ikafanya NDC…na rais Uhuru akasema kutoka siku hiyo Jubilee na ODM ziko kwa coalition inaitwa Azimio, na sisi tunajua candidate wetu wa Azimio ni Raila Amolo Odinga,” he said.

The leaders promised to hold rallies with Odinga in Central Kenya in the near future.
