President Uhuru Kenyatta has his first assignment mapped out upon his return from France with decision to kick out his deputy William Ruto out of Jubilee Party at the top of the Agenda.

The Head of State is expected to return on Sunday, October 4, with his first meeting scheduled to take place on Monday, October 5, 2020.

In the meeting, Uhuru is expected to receive a comprehensive political brief from his lieutenants when he chairs the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC).

The Head of State's confidants have reportedly developed four elaborate ways on how to contain Ruto, all of which will be presented to the president.

The team have reportedly suggested that the DP be kicked out of the party, be banned from setting foot at the Jubilee headquarters in Pangani, have the budget to his office slashed and an impeachment motion be initiated to have him ejected from government.

President Uhuru chairs the National Executive Committee (NEC) that was challenged to eject Ruto as Deputy Party Leader.

The fallout came after Ruto was accused of attempting to grab the party in the absence of the President. 

"The DP turned up at the party headquarters with more than 30 MPs, many of them known abusers of the president...foul-mouthed MPs that are on record attacking government projects like Huduma Namba. That move almost created an ugly confrontation.

"The NMC has recommended to NEC that the DP ceases to be Deputy Party Leader after he opened the so-called Jubilee Asili offices that are reserved for him and his allies until such a time this development of the Jubilee Asili is discussed at the NEC," Jubilee Secretary-General Raphael Tuju announced on Friday, October 2.

Jubilee Party Vice-chair David Murathe, on Saturday, October 3, revealed that the party's headquarters in Ngara had been restricted.

He further noted that if anyone wanted to access the building, they would have to make an appointment.

"It is now war, the headquarters will be closed for a while now," he stated.

In response, the DP brushed off the demand explaining that he would not be dissuaded from his hustler movement. He explained that his team was delivering a new conversation countrywide aimed at empowering the poor.
