Fresh row rocks PNU as Jubilee merger beckons

Meru Governor Peter Munya

A fresh controversy dogs Party of National Unity (PNU) over who the real party officials are, even as its leaders engage in a push and pull over whether it should fold up and join the Jubilee Party.

PNU wrote a letter on November 25, 2015, signed by Jeremiah Kioni as the party leader, to the Registrar of Political Parties that it would not dissolve or merge with any political party. The letter, which The Standard on Sunday has, reads, “PNU will not dissolve or merge with any other political outfit. PNU will remain a distinct political entity, having benefited from political party funding during the 10th parliament.”
