Deputy President William Ruto on Friday dismissed a controversial move to change Jubilee Party’s top decision making organ terming it ‘fraudulent’ and ‘illegal’ as cracks in the ruling party deepened.

In a letter to the Acting Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu, DP Ruto, who appears to have been caught flatfooted by his opponents; said that the move to change the membership of National Management Committee (NMC) contravened the party’s constitution and therefore, null and void.

“Please note that the National Executive Council (NEC) has never been reconstituted by the party neither have we ever constituted NEC to constitute or reconstitute the NMC.

“In light of the foregoing the intended changes of NMC membership is therefore illegal and fraudulent,” DP Ruto.

In a Gazette notice posted on Thursday, Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu published the party’s intention to make the changes and invited members of the public to present their submissions, if any, regarding the replacements.

“In exercise of the power conferred by Section 20 (1) (c) of the Political Parties Act, 2011, the Registrar of Political Parties gives notice that Jubilee Party intends to change its leadership,” the notice read.

“Any person with written submission concerning the intended change by the political party shall, within seven days from the date herein, deposit them at the registrar of political parties.”

According to the Gazette Notice, the party appointed Lucy Macharia, Prof Marete Marangu, Walter Nyambati, Jane Nampaso and James Waweru as new office bearers replacing Veronica Maina, Fatuma Shukri and Pamela Mutua who resigned after securing jobs in government.
