Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju, on Wednesday night, May 13, lost his cool for a few minutes during a candid interview on KTN News and snapped when quizzed on why the recent impromptu meeting at State House was not documented.
"Nobody is going to dictate for us on how we conduct our PGs and put on shows," a visibly irritated Tuju snarled in response to Akisa Wandera.
He then went on to implore any Jubilee Party members who felt aggrieved to go ahead and resign, maintaining that all members serve at the pleasure of the party leader, President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"As a Majority Leader or a Majority Whip, you represent the government in the House. When you start criticising that government, then the honourable thing to do is to resign.
"When they stay there being driven in government vehicles and enjoying government perks and still go into the Senate and abuse that same government...it is something that happens nowhere in the world let alone Kenya. They shouldn't even wait for us to push them out," he explained.
Tuju added that the party was targeting Members of Parliament who have been acting out of turn.
"The president has been very patient but we've reached a point where we cannot take any more indiscipline in the party.
"In fact, one of the things we are considering right now is that some of the MPs who have been acting out of turn, we are going to start a process of recalling them," he elaborated.
He went on to defend the purge as a necessary change to ensure that the party was only left with members who were moving in the same direction.
The secretary general went on to deride Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika for trying to go to court to overturn the party's decision to oust them from their roles in the Senate.
"Some of these people have no honour. You cannot serve the president by force. This government belongs to President Uhuru and you cannot insist that you represent his interest by force.
"So you go to court so that you can serve the president by force? Does that even make sense?" he posed.
