Jubilee Dismisses Reports That David Murathe Has Resigned

The Jubilee Party has dismissed reports that its vice-chairman David Murathe has resigned.

The party’s Director of Communications Albert Memusi termed the reports as false and urged members of the public to treat the rumors with the contempt they deserve.

“It has come to our attention that there are reports circulating on social media alleging that the Jubilee party vice-chair, Hon. David Murathe has resigned. We would like to clarify that such reports are false,” the statement reads.

“We urge members of the public to treat any documents, reports or communication purporting to convey his resignation with the contempt they deserve.”

Memusi further stated that the party is “unequivocally focused on fulfilling the pledges made to the people of Kenya, and completing the journey of transformation.”

Murathe had announced his resignation from the party in June 2019 but later made a U-turn, saying President Kenyatta rejected his resignation letter. 

Murathe said he was stepping down from his position in the ruling party to focus on stopping Deputy President from ascending to power in 2022.
