Former Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni and politician David Murathe’s removal from their positions as Jubilee Party secretary-general and National vice-chairperson, respectively, has been overturned by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal.
The tribunal ruled that the registrar of political parties had failed to investigate whether the party’s National Executive Council meeting, which led to Kioni and Murathe’s removal, was properly convened.
However, the tribunal dismissed Kioni and Murathe’s complaint over their removal, stating that they should have filed their complaints internally before turning to the tribunal.
Kioni and Murathe had been temporarily holding their positions due to orders issued pending the hearing and determination of the appeal by the tribunal.
They were replaced by Acting secretary-general East African Legislative Assembly MP Kanini Kega and National Vice-chairperson Adan Keynan.
