Former president Mwai Kibaki mealstormed for his thinking.

Is it bad for someone to choose what he thinks is the best for him and the neighbours?

Former President Mwai Kibaki’s Party of National Unity (PNU) is sharply divided on folding up to form the Jubilee Party as requested by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The party has split into two factions, with one side agree to dissolve the party while the other is opposed to the idea.

The two factions are led by Meru Governor Peter Munya and party chairman John Kamama.

Kamama was part of the delegation that visited State House when Uhuru and Ruto announced the merger of different parties.

However, Munya later on dismissed the attendance saying the PNU had not agreed to merge with other parties as potrayed by Kamama.

Munya said the party chairman was at State House on personal reasons.

“There is no meeting anywhere within the organs of the party that has sat to agree that the party wants to be a merger. So, really, one person against the party organs I wouldn’t say the party is divided,” Munya said.

However, Kamama has now come out to discredit Munya saying he has no say in the party and that the PNU has already agreed to fold up to form the JP.

Kamama further said that Kibaki and over 100,000 members of the party are of the idea that PNU dissolves as Uhuru is assured of re-election.

“What Munya is doing is tantamount to coming to Nairobi’s Treasury House and demanding that all tenants pay rent to him. Let him understand that we have a party constitution and a certificate of registration from the Registrar of Political Parties and he should respect that,” Kamama said as quoted by Standard.

The chairman further accused party Secretary General John Okemwa Anunda of refusing the merger and selling the party to Munya.

He also dismissed former Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni and former assistant minister Nderitu Mureithi as party delegates.

Kamama has now told Munya to find another party if he is not satisfied with the merger move.

A number of other parties under the Jubilee umbrella are also reluctant to fold up to form the JAP.

The Kenya African National Union (KANU) has indicated it will not dissolve to form JAP. Its chairman, Gideon Moi, said that despite having an agreement with Jubilee since 2013, the independence party is not ready to merge with others.
