The Deputy President William Ruto has been banned from using Jubilee Party headquarters at Pangani for political planning, the party Secretary General Raphael Tuju has said.

While addressing a press conference on Friday, Tuju said the party NMC has also recommended Ruto be removed as deputy party leader.

"We would like to be absolutely clear, that we serve one President at a time.

"The DP, a self-declared 2022 presidential candidate, will not be allowed to use the party headquarters as a centre of operationalisation of his campaigns and for intimidation," Tuju said.

The SG said it is no longer tenable for the DP to use the party platform to advance his divisive so-called 'hustler' politics.

"We have witnessed with sadness, the very rude and unmitigated defiance in the face of the President's vision by his Constitutional principal assistant, the Deputy President William Ruto.

"Yesterday, the DP turned up at the party headquarters with more than 30 MPs, many of them known abusers of the President.

"These are some of the foul-mouthed MPs that are on record attacking government programmes like the Huduma Namba," he said.
