The Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has broken his silence after Court ruling on Jubilee leadership.
The Court has earlier affirmed the Kanini Kega and Sabina Chege as new Jubilee leaders.
In a statement, SG Kioni says: “it is unfortunate and obnoxious that a ruling expected to be delivered at 2;30PM today, the 11thJuly 2023, was already circulating on social media last evening.
“On the same callous and pompous note, UDA-B functionaries were on Saturday already celebrating a ruling that was delivered at 2;30PM, 10th July 2023.
“We lament the obvious and tyrannical injustice being occasioned on Jubilee by a section of PPDT’s seven judge bench which has succumbed to pressure and undue influence by the State.
“While we laud the steadfast minority within the seven-judge bench which has remained objective in its judgement, the fact that UDA-B seems to have had prior knowledge and access to both the rulings, as early as Saturday and were already celebrating shows that the PPDT is no longer making a judicious ruling on this critical matter.
“It is now clear that some members of the bench have now joined UDA-B in executing a political vendetta. This indeed confirms our worst fears – that the Tribunal is being transformed into a conveyor belt of an already predetermined outcome on the affairs of Jubilee. The evidence is self-explanatory.
“The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal has for the first time broken tradition and allowed its decisions to be split in such a manner that the Chair delivered a minority decision reflecting objectivity while the Vice Chair read out the majority decision that was clearly tweaked in favor of UDA-B’s objectives to capture Jubilee.
“Nonetheless, we urge our members to remain steadfast and committed to safeguarding our Party.
“We will, in due course, communicate the next course of action. No amount of intimidation, coercion, threats, or State meddling will dissuade us or break our spirit!”
