Governor Samuel Ragwa has said he will join the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) on condition that it will benefit his people.

Mr Ragwa skipped the Mt Kenya East political caucus meeting at Nkubu Heritage Hotel two weeks ago, where the caucus agreed to use JAP as its political vehicle in 2017 elections.
