Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta still remains the chairperson of the Jubilee party, former Statehouse spokesperson Kanze Dena has affirmed. Addressing the press Monday in Nairobi, Kanze explained that the court dispute surrounding the leadership of the party has made it impossible for him to hand over. "So, inevitably, he remains the chairman of Jubilee, because Jubilee is one of the key parties of Azimio coalition," she added. Speaking during the NDC meeting in Nairobi last year, Uhuru took a stance saying he would not retire from active politics. Today, I want to tell you that, you can't do that to Uhuru Kenyatta.
