President Uhuru's Jubilee Party Sends Home Over 200 Top Officials

President Uhuru's Jubilee Party has reportedly sent home more than 200 employees as part of a restructuring plan following last year's general elections.

Members of the secretariat, senior directors and county coordinators are among officials who have lost their jobs, the Standard reports.

This came barely days after majority of the officers resumed duty on January 9th after a long December Holiday.

Some individuals who were instrumental to President Kenyatta's and Jubilee victory are among those fired, with sources indicating the move could have been triggered by 2022 succession politics.

Confirming the sackings, Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju said the decision was prompted by the need to have a leaner team and make the party more sustainable.

“We have to cut our cloth according to our size. We want to hire and we will do that according to our needs,” Tuju told the Standard.
