Acting Secretary-General (SG) Kanini Keg’s Jubilee Party group has expelled Vice Chair David Murathe and Jeremiah Kioni for alleged egregious misbehaviour.
Kega stated in a statement dated May 19 that the decision was made in response to a resolution by the party’s Internal Disciplinary Committee, which was also adopted by the National Executive Committee (NEC).
David Murathe, the party’s Vice Chairperson, was found guilty of egregious misconduct and a lack of respect for the party’s decisions.
Kega also accused the two of disrespecting party institutions by failing to perform party-mandated obligations.
“Kioni failed and neglected to carry out his duties as directed by the party by failing to call a NEC meeting as expected, one of his duties under the Constitution.”
“The Committee found that the penalty to expel the member [Murathe] may be too harsh in the circumstances but was also alive to the danger posed to the party for failing to comply with the financial requirements to qualify for disbursement of political parties’ funds and the compliance was set to be triggered by the charged member,” the acting SG added.
