Two Jubilee Party factions are opening

parallel offices in Kilgoris town, Trans

Mara West subcounty, Narok.

A faction allied to former Internal

Security minister Julius Sunkuli

opened its offi ce on Friday, while

another allied to Kilgoris MP Gideon

Konchellah will open its office tomorrow.

Speaking to journalists after

opening the office, Sunkuli said Narok

county is a Jubilee zone. He said they

will launch campaigns on  Thursday.

Sunkuli said prominent party leaders

will be present.

“I have heard Konchellah will be

opening another office this week. We

have no problem with that as long as

we are all campaigning for the reelection

of President Uhuru Kenyatta

and Deputy President William Ruto,”

Sunkuli said.

Joel Tasur, whth the Jubilee

ticket, dismissed Sunkuli, saying

the office he opened is a private one because he did not involve JP leaders.

He said the offices they will open

tomorrow will accommodate all Jubilee

supporters in the constituency.

“Sunkuli’s meeting after he opened

the office was attended only by members

of his Moitanik clan, yet we have

the Uasin Gishu and Siria clans of the

Maasai community, and also the Kipsigis

community, who are residents of

this constituency. But they were not

invited,” he said.
