Lawyer Saitabao Ole Kanchory has praised the Jubilee Party over its move to appoint Moitalel Ole Kenta as the party’s new Secretary General.

Taking to his official X account on Thursday, January 22, 2026, Kanchory termed Jubilee’s decision as a great move.

According to the 2022 chief agent of the late Azimio Leader Raila Odinga, the Jubilee Party’s move has made Ole Kenta the highest-ranking Maa in any political formation.

Visionary leader

He also praised Ole Kenta as a visionary leader and a man of great integrity, noting that with him at the helm of Jubilee, the party is on the right track.

“Great move by the Jubilee Party. Hon. Moitalel ole Kenta, who now becomes the highest-ranking Maa in any political formation, is a visionary leader and a man of great integrity. His love for his people, the Maa, and the nation is well known. With Kenta at the helm, Jubilee is definitely on the right track,” Ole Kanchory stated.

Jubilee Party changes

Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i announced major changes in the Jubilee Party on Thursday, January 22, 2026, following a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

The party is reviving the Jubilee Foundation, a body provided for in its constitution but inactive for some time.

The Jubilee party also elevated Jeremiah Kioni from secretary general to deputy party leader (operations), with Ole Kenta taking over as the new secretary general.

Kioni will now oversee compliance with party processes, coordinate activities from the grassroots to the national level, and spearhead Jubilee’s engagement with political and societal stakeholders.

These moves come as Jubilee prepares for the 2027 General Election under retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s leadership.

The changes, approved by the NEC, are part of a broader strategy to strengthen Jubilee’s internal structures, restore discipline, and re-establish the party as a credible national alternative at a time when the cost of living, economic pressure, and governance concerns continue to dominate public discourse.
