Nakuru Jubilee coordinator, James Karimi, says the President was misguided into appointing Susan Kihika to lead the Jubilee campaign team in the county.

Say they are determined to sell the party, Karimi said there is need to involve the National Intelligence Service (NIS) when such appointments are made for the will of the people to be honoured.

"She has no support at the grassroots. No one knows her here. We wonder how she made it to the presidential campaign team," he said.

He added, "We are determined to sell JP because we know where to go and how to speak to the people to fully embrace the party ahead of the elections."

In the opposition that is growing against the Nakuru County Assembly speaker, more than 500 women also rejected Kihika's appointment as the Jubilee campaign team head.

The women meeting under the ‘Wamama na Jubilee’ movement umbrella said it was ready to campaign for President Uhuru Kenyatta, but not with Kihika leading them.

Meeting in Naivasha on Wednesday, the movement’s chairperson Esther Nyokabi said Kihika had not held any public meeting, especially in Naivasha and that she was not on the ground either.

"We shall be supporting one of our own but we won’t work with Kihika because she has no support at the grassroots level," said Nyokabi who is also the Naivasha branch Maendeleo ya Wanawake chair.
