A Jubilee Member of Parliament from Western Kenya has threatened to ditch Jubilee for opposition NASA.
Dismus Barasa of Kimilili constituency says he will lobby for a mass exit from Jubilee, over what he termed as being short-changed by the ruling party.
Barasa said that if Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa is not retained in the cabinet, Western Kenya MPs will walk out of the president’s party.
“CS Wamalwa was the face of Jubilee in Bungoma and Trans-Nzoia Counties. Kicking him out has eroded the gains Jubilee had made in the region. We shall have no business remaining in Jubilee after the ouster of our team leader Wamalwa,” MP Barasa told The Standard in an interview.
He noted that the decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta last week not to retain Wamalwa in his cabinet was ill-advised.
