Monday, January 27, 2025 - Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has revealed what former President Uhuru Kenyatta told him about his meeting with President William Ruto late last year.
Speaking during an interview,
Kioni clarified that the Ichaweri meeting was born out of Uhuru’s
initiative to restore faith in Kenya’s economic capacity occasioned by the
rapid exit of many international firms from the Kenyan stock market.
“One of the things that my party
leader (Uhuru Kenyatta) told me why he sat with William at Ichaweri, was to try
and see whether there could be an injection of hope that could go into the
market so that the exodus of companies to Tanzania and Uganda gets slowed down
for the sake of young people so that we see whether we can generate
employment,” Kioni stated.
According to Kioni, Uhuru had
not entered into any pact with Ruto contrary to popular belief.
He stated that the meeting was purely consultative in nature, as is standard practice between current and former heads of state.
“No he (Uhuru) is not (in any
pact with Ruto), but he is the former head of state. If you want advice, you
can go and see him. If I want advice on how to run the party, I can go and see
him,” he stated.
Kioni added that the proceeding
actions by Ruto and members of the Kenya Kwanza camp to claim that Uhuru
had been co-opted into government through a ‘super broad-based government’
was all a ploy to fool the public.
“Of course, people like Ruto and
his camp would want to milk that meeting to make it look more than what it
really was,” Kioni noted.
