Reports that aspirants will need a clearance certificate from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission before they can participate in Jubilee Party nominations are generating anxiety.

President Uhuru Kenyatta is understood to have issued firm instructions that aspirants who did not pass the test of leadership and integrity as outlined in Chapter Six of the Constitution should not be allowed to contest in Jubilee primaries.
