Jubilee Party Vice-chair David Murathe has revealed that President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to crack the whip on errant Jubilee Party members.

He noted that their disloyalty would not be tolerated in the party.

"The disrespectful and disloyal members will receive show cause letters this week. Some cases will end up in expulsion.

"Their actions go contrary to Article 13 of the JP constitution,” Murathe noted.

He also pointed out that Deputy President William Ruto had to choose where his political affiliation lie. 

“The DP must make up his mind whether to remain in government or join the opposition. He cannot have both ways.

"That when it is convenient for him, he is in government and when not, he is playing opposition politics,” Murathe declared.

Murathe's remarks come after Kandara MP Alice Wahome released a statement accusing the President of undermining the Constitution and allegedly attempting to retain power after he exits the top seat in 2022.

"Today, I want to reiterate what I said in January 2020 which has been vindicated: President Uhuru Kenyatta remains the single biggest threat to the Constitution, democracy, devolution and economy in Kenya," part of her statement read.

Furthermore, a section of Jubilee MPs lashed out at the President during the recent homecoming event for Msambweni MP Feisal Bader. Among them was Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura who claimed that the country was fed up with dynasties.

This prompted a section of Uhuru allies to call on the Head of State to take action on party members who openly disrespected the top office.
