Political commentator Brian Weke has mocked the ruling Jubilee Party regarding the back and forth's in regards to fronting a candidate for the Kibra parliamentary race.
There has been confusion within Jubilee in the past few days, with Secretary-General Raphael Tuju initially disowning the list of candidates allegedly being forwarded to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Weke, also a former Makadara MP hopeful, claimed that some members are trying to use the by-election to gain political popularity, hence the attempts to disrupt calm within the party.
"There are people trying to be relevant hence the forgery of nomination letters (Iko watu fulani wanataka kuwa relevant kwa siasa ndio maana sasa wanaforge letters za nomination), he said on Radio Jambo, Saturday morning.
He noted that this could be a repeat of an initial incident where some Jubilee insiders wrote fake letters purporting that some top state officials were meeting at a city hotel to plot Deputy President William Ruto's assassination.
"It could be the same people who wrote that some persons were meeting in plans to plot a murder (Huenda ni hawa tu wakiandika eti watu wanakutana kwa hoteli kupanga kuuana)," he added.
The blame about the said assassination plot was heaped on a section of top state officials from President Uhuru Kenyatta's Mt Kenya backyard.
