Former Kibwezi Member of Parliament Kalembe Ndile has threatened to quit Jubilee due to alleged betrayal. He also cited endless wrangles and single-handedness in the ruling party.
Speaking on Thursday, Ndile hit out at President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto for failing to fulfill their promise to secure him a job.
“I was promised a job in government once Jubilee captured the second term but now I have been left in the cold. To make matter worse I’m more learned than some of the cabinet secretaries who were appointed without toiling for Jubilee,” said Mr. Ndile.
The vocal politician stated that he supported Jubilee during the last general election only to be betrayed later.
“The key decisions of the party are now made by two people; Party Secretary Raphael Tuju and Deputy Chairman David Murathe. The rest of us have been kicked out and we have no say,” Mr Ndile is quoted by Nation.
He claimed that the party’s national steering committee sidelined him immediately after the August 8 elections.
The former lawmaker sensationally claimed that the party was now divided into three factions.
"In Jubilee, we have a faction that supports DP Ruto, the other one is behind President Uhuru and the third one is loyal to Mr Odinga,” claimed Mr. Ndile.
