Kanu Chairman Gideon Moi on Sunday, December 18, held a meeting with the party's regional chairpersons in Kabarak, Nakuru County.
The meeting with the party leadership representatives comes amidst his infighting with Secretary General (SG) Nick Salat.
In a statement released after the meeting, Moi revealed that they are committed to restructuring the party to improve its efficiency.
He added that they also aim to re-energise the party's support both at the grassroots and national levels.
"We are fully devoted to restructuring our party and enhancing our operational efficiency in order to revitalize our grassroots as well as national support," Moi said in the statement.
In what is seen as a move to stamp his authority in the independence party, Moi said they will do the restructuring without fear or favour.
On Thursday, December 15, a section of the party's leadership rejected the suspension of Nick Salat who had, earlier on, threatened to kick the chairman out of the party.
In a letter seen by Kenyans.co.ke, KANU National First Vice Chairman, Thomas Ojanga, warned Moi against undertaking unlawful pronouncements on important party issues.
"Today, from a hurriedly convened outlawed National Executive Council meeting in an unpublished location in Nakuru County, the Hon. Gideon Moi issued a letter, citing article 7.2(a) of a fraudulent KANU Constitution, to announce the suspension of Hon. Nick Salat as the Secretary General of the Kenya African National Union Party," Ojanga stated in a statement.
This came after the former Baringo Senator suspended Salat claiming that he had violated the party's Constitution.
"This is to notify you that at the National Executive Committee meeting on December 15, several complaints on your conduct and violation of the party Constitution were placed before the members for discussion.
"You are hereby suspended forthwith from carrying out and or performing your duties as the party's Secretary General pending the determination of the disciplinary," the statement read in part.
His suspension from the party came after he had called for fresh party elections to change its leadership.
He argued that KANU needed new ideologies if it was intentional to remain relevant after the party's poor performance in the August 9 General Election.
"Nobody is directly targeted. We just want to transform the party and make it dynamic yet again. The fact is we are not doing well at the moment," Salat remarked.
