National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has dismissed claims that there are simmering divisions in the Jubilee Party.
Duale said the governing outfit, under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, was strong and united, a statement that contradicts his Senate counterpart Kipchumba Murkomen who recently claimed there was "small cracks likely to cause bigger problem" in the ruling party.
"We have a concern about the existence of a small wing of individuals serving within government at the Office of the President, government ministries who are spending most of their time to plant discord in the Jubilee Party," Murkomen said in an interview with Citizen TV.
But on Thursday, Duale rubbished the claims of the split, saying the party was now 'stronger compared to election time'.
"The narrative that there are camps in Jubilee is farfetched. Jubilee is not built on sand soil but on a strong foundation," he told Ebru TV.
The Garissa Township MP said the coming together of Uhuru's The National Alliance (TNA) and Ruto's United Republican Party (URP) and other 13 parties to form Jubilee was a clear indication that the party was a national political entity.
"We have set the stage for others to follow. Jubilee is not a party owned by a few people. We are a party for the people," Duale noted.
