Jubilee Party Vice Chairman David Murathe has been facing negative criticism following his remarks on Deputy President Dr William Ruto political future, where he had stated that the DP should retire alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The latest to brand him as “a busybody” was Kimilili lawmaker Didmus Barasa, who told off Murathe on DP’s political plans.

A section of Jubilee legislators have hence threatened to oust Murathe from his role at the party. However, the Uhuru led party Vice chair seems to have found defence in former Starehe legislator Maina Kamanda.

The nominated  has boldly come out to defend the remarks made by Murathe on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s succession in 2022.

Mr Kamanda who was quoted by a local daily said that Mr Murathe has spoken for the silent majority in the party and should not be condemned for stating the truth.

“When the right time comes, we will say the same things Mr Murathe has said but for now let us just focus on the unity of the country,” Mr Kamanda said, adding “let those condemning Mr Murathe stop because what he said is what majority of Jubilee Party members are saying silently when you speak to them.
