Jubilee Party secretary general Raphael Tuju has nullified the changes in the leadership of Murang’a county assembly.
He said the party does not acknowledge Simon Gikuru as the party’s chairperson in the county.
Tuju, speaking in Murang’a town on Wednesday, added that any changes Gikuru has overseen in the county assembly are null and void.
The MCAs had elected Amos Murigi as their new leader of majority to replace Eric Kamande while Joyce Wambui replaced Simon Wamwea.
During the courtesy call on Governor Mwangi wa Iria, Tuju said the party’s disciplinary committee will punish MCAs engaged in fights at the assembly.
He also dismissed the party’s caucus meeting that turned chaotic in Kiambu county in which Murang’a MCAs purportedly elected the new members.
“The Kiambu meeting is null and void as it was convened by a chairman who is not recognised in the party,” Tuju said.
He said Gikuru had taken the party to court and lost after he was replaced as chairperson.
Tuju also noted that an official communication was made to the MCAs informing them that the chaotic meeting was illegal.
He said any party member who has issues with the party at the county level should follow the required procedures or go to court, instead of fighting.
