Political analyst Edward Kisangani has faulted the Jubilee Party nomination list for the national assembly and senate stating that it is wrongly designed.
Speaking on Citizen TV, Kisiangani said that Jubilee's tendency to gift some of the biggest posts in both the national assembly and Senate parliaments to its loyalists is set to contradict its national unity and inclusion gospel advising it to also allocate some slots for new individuals hailing from regions deemed to be allied to the opposition.
''Jubilee should as well consider the areas deemed to be in the opposition and allocate even more slots for them if possible to demonstrate that it is indeed an all inclusive administration,'' said Kisiangani.
He said that the mistake could lead to even more drifts in the political divide saying the same could hinder Jubilee's 2022 plans.
''Selecting only people considered as loyalists will lead to more hurting from the people in opposition strongholds leading to increased feeling discrimination,''
Some of the people whose names have been fronted include Nakuru Senator-elect Susan Kihika for Senate Deputy Speaker with former Kisii Senator Chris Obure who failed to clinch the county's top spot on the Jubilee Party ticket proposed for Senate speaker.
Aden Duale is set to retain his national assembly majority boss position with Kajiado South lawmaker Katoo Ole Metito set to remain the national assembly majority chief whip.
