Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju has recomended Deputy president William Ruto together with his Jubilee counterpart Aden Duale for the way they hve carried themselves on the 2022 political debates.

Tuju, in an interview on Citizen TV’s Newsnight on Tuesday, termed Deputy President William Ruto as being Modesty in the way he has been presenting himself politically saying Ruto had cleverly kept off 2022 presidential debates. Tuju noted that the deputy president was not desperate to be president in 2022.

He acknowledged Ruto’s recent remarks that he is ready to follow the party’s regulations to fairly compete with any other candidate for the Jubilee presidential ticket.

Tuju, however, in what is seen as an attack on Ruto’s allies, condemned the much-heated conversation about who will succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta saying he sympathizes with anybody who focuses on the future instead of the present.

“Some of the people who claim that they’re supporting the Deputy President against a different group… I don’t think they’re doing him much justice because the DP himself has been extremely modest, he’s not desperate to be the President in 2022.” said Tuju

The Jubilee Party SG also spoke out against the now popular habit by Kenyan leaders to fire salvos at each other in churches during the weekends saying addressing political issues at places of worship is inappropriate.

He, however, commended worshipers and leaders from the Muslim community – such as Garissa Township MP Aden Duale – for not condoning the act.

Tuju observed that all leaders and especially Christians should follow the examples of Aden Duale and his Muslim brothers who never condones Politics in their places of worship.

“I think it is inappropriate in many respects the kind of campaigns we have in churches over the weekends with different politicians making several political statements,” said Tuju

Tuju also denied claims of a split in the Jubilee party membership into ‘Tangatanga’ and ‘Kieleweke’camps saying he is yet to receive a letter of resignation from any member.

“As Secretary General of the party, I’m very fortunate that I keep a registry of members; and in my registry they’re all Jubilee members, they have not written any letter or any official communication to tell me of any other formation in which they belong,” he said.

He, however, commended the handshake between President Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga saying it has brought the country more good than harm.

“Since the handshake, for the nine months after, the Kenyan shilling strengthened against the U.S dollar and was the second strongest currency in the whole world (after the U.S dollar) because there was a certain level of calm which came into the country. The credit rating of this country has remained stable because of that handshake,” he said.

He also rubbished any ambitions of running for the Siaya gubernatorial race in upcoming elections saying he wasn’t interested.
