Tribunal overturns Ole Kenta’s appointment as Jubilee Party Secretary-General
Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu challenged the appointment.
The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal has ruled that Moitalel Ole Kenta's appointment as Jubilee Party Secretary General was invalid, rendering the entire process leading up to his appointment null and void. The tribunal found Kenta ineligible to hold the position due to his lack of registration with the Jubilee Party at the time of his nomination and appointment, in violation of the party’s constitutional requirements.
Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu filed the case, challenging a series of leadership changes within the party. The tribunal dismissed several of Wambugu's arguments, stating that they were based on speculation rather than evidence. However, they upheld Wambugu's challenge against Kenta's appointment, finding that his ineligibility was the decisive factor.
The case involved the listing of other party officials, including former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, as members of the Jubilee Party, but the tribunal did not agree with all of the grounds raised.
