The future of Cabinet Secretary without Portfolio Raphael Tuju as Secretary-General of the Jubilee Party hangs on balance amid plans to kick him out of the party.
Ahead of the March Jubilee Party election, politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto, have vowed to send Tuju packing in what some of them accused the former Rarieda MP of being a sympathizer of ODM leader Raila Odinga.
According to Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa, they will ensure that Tuju is blocked from even defending his position during the March poll.
" We will kick him (Tuju) out of the party and also block anyone who is opposed to Ruto succeeding the President from holding sny influential position in the party," outspoken Barasa said as quoted by the People Daily.
The Kimilili lawmaker further claimed that Tuju has been working closely with the former Prime Minister and that he is allegedly planning to run for Siaya Governor position come to the 2022 general election.
He asked the Jubilee Secretary-General to join the party of his choice as he has no place in Jubilee.
The CS without Portfolio has in the recent past come under sharp criticisms from politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto for allegedly undermining the DP.
At one point, Senate Majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen called for his ouster at the helm of the party leadership.
