Small parties that endorsed President Uhuru Kenyatta's reelection will each get a Cabinet post and other goodies if Jubilee wins the election. In a frantic courtship of small parties that had declined to merge with JP, and some that have cropped up, Jubilee will reward them with lucrative parastatal appointments and plum diplomatic postings. By wooing these parties Jubilee hopes to consolidate its support and penetrate NASA zones. After the big Tuko Pamoja Jubilee merger in September last year, the parties that refused to merge were treated like the opposition. On Saturday last week, President Uhuru disclosed that his government will fully accommodate all the parties, should Jubilee Party emerge the winner.
