Jubilee Party deputy secretary general Caleb Kositany on Tuesday asked Kirinyaga assembly Majority Leader James Murango to ignore a dismissal letter by secretary general Raphael Tuju. In his letter to the speaker of Kirinyaga County Assembly, Kositany who is also the Soi MP said Tuju has no mandate to dismiss elected assembly leadership as it is only a preserve of MCAs. "Article 9 provides for the roles of the secretary general. The constitution does not grant such powers to the secretary general but instead designates the relevant party organs with such powers," he said. Three weeks ago, Tuju wrote to assembly majority leader James Murango dismissing him from his position.
