Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi is warning that wrangles witnessed in Jubilee strongholds pose a real threat to the survival of the new party. Kiraitu, a former JP National Steering Committee co-chair, has warned that the wrangles could cause internal hemorrhage with disastrous consequences at a time that “our party needs to be welcoming
members from the opposition”.

“We have the opportunity to completely vanquish the opposition and come out as a strong national party that would bring about the unity that Kenyans are yearning for. But we have to ensure harmony across the branches of the
party,” says Kiraitu.
