Jubilee Party Leader Uhuru Kenyatta Warns Members Against Insulting Gachagua and Other Leaders
Jubilee Party leader Uhuru Kenyatta has cautioned leaders within his party against hurling insults at other leaders.
Speaking during a grassroots party meeting in Thika Greens on Friday, Uhuru urged leaders to popularise the party's policies and ideals instead of trading personal insults with their political adversaries.
Further, Uhuru cautioned Jubilee members against attacking opposition leaders such as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua under the guise of defending the party, warning that such behaviour could lead to the politician being kicked out of the party.
" I'll tell you this, Secretary General (Jeremiah) Kioni, the habit of constantly reacting to what's been said on social media, whereby they say they're defending the party but are attacking Gachagua and others, I don't want that behaviour," he said.
" Do you hear me? We don't want these battles. Politicians are free to choose which party they belong to and the leaders they want. If I see anyone continuing with that behaviour, I won't hesitate to kick them out."
"Gen Zs must be given an opportunity to take positions of leadership so that they choose for themselves the Kenya they want to live in. Wafunguliwe nafasi," he said.
He reminded members to elect leaders capable of representing their constituents with integrity and competence at all levels, warning against being swayed by politicians who may entertain crowds during campaigns but lack the depth required for effective governance.
The former president reaffirmed that Jubilee’s agenda remains to advance its policy agenda, strengthen grassroots engagement, and build support across the country.
Jubilee party presidential candidate Fred Matiang’i echoed Uhuru’s sentiments, saying that 'better days are ahead' should Kenyans vote him into office in the 2027 General Election.
"Don't lose hope. Our better days are coming and we will cross that bridge after the elections. We will go forward and continue this journey of building a great country and together we will go to the destination that the Lord wants us to go," Matiang'i stated.
