Uhuru’s TNA moves to heal rift over row in leadership

By GEOFFREY MOSOKU

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s TNA party Thursday moved to heal the rift that was threatening to break the party.

The party held a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting where members resolved to end the wrangles following demands for change of leadership.

The PG instead resolved to conduct grassroots recruitment in April before holding branch elections at the end of the year.

“The party meeting has re-affirmed its confidence in the national leadership,” Chairman and nominated MP Johnson Sakaja told reporters after the three-hour meeting at a city hotel.

At the Press conference, Kajiado West MP Moses ole Sakuda who has been the most vocal in calling for removal of the current officials was asked to declare that he had no differences with Sakaja and Secretary General Onyango Oloo.
