West Mugirango MP James Gesami now wants the Jubilee leadership to explain the source of the Sh2 billion expected to be splashed during the much awaited Jubilee Party launch this month.
According to the Star, the Jubilee leadership has invited guests and top diplomats to the event that will see the formation of a new party that President Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto will use to seek their re-election.
The amount will be used to cater for expenses of delegates and invited guests among them from foreign countries.
And during a telephone interview with this writer, Gesami urged the Jubilee officials to explain the source of the huge amount of money.
“I don’t like meddling in a rival party's business but I am shocked that Sh2 billion can be splashed on a three-day event. We deserve to be told the source of all that money because I am certain that there is something fishy going on,” he said.
“Relevant agencies should investigate that claim because there is a probability taxpayers' money could be squandered on an event which isn’t meant for the public,” he added.
On Deputy President William Ruto weekly harambees, the ODM MP also urged him to come clean on the party to clear the air on the possible use of taxpayers’ funds.
“The reason why I am very keen on the matter is because we have seen the DP splash millions of shillings in a short period of time. He should come clean on the matter by disclosing his source of the money,” he said.
